The Unicorns - Who will cut our hair when we're gone? (2003)
Rating 4.00/5.00
Where 5 is the album which made the Beatles break up worth it
They split up in 2004..I'm too sleepy to calculate this but I think they were together for 5 years or so in which they made 1 great album and that's Who will cut our hair when we're gone?.
This is indie pop which sounds 'oh wow this is new' for 2-3 days before falling onto your lap as yet another good indie pop album. Till the time you reach that conclusion, you've already started liking it too much to actually feel that you've been duped...they're way too sweet to do that!
So there are bleeps and trumpets and synthesisers and drums that sound like a robot is playing and some sound effects and stuff and the backdrop is off course a shimmering pop melody.....and that's what will get you hooked once the novelty of the bleeps and sound effects is gone!
and here's an excerpt from an interview with the band members which i really liked -
How is the songwriting process divided between you guys?
Nick: Here, Jellybones is a perfect example of perfect synthesis. Alden comes to me with a little something on the synthesizer (Korg Delta in this case). I come up with a complementary 2nd half on the electric guitaroo, & pen some lyrics. I sing over the first half that Alden wrote, and Alden sings over the second half that I wrote. The third ACT climaxes with Alden writing acoustic guitar). Oh, what magic!
