There is an abundance of highly-charged rhythm and contagious melodies on their album, Maps and Organs, accompanied perfectly by singer and band founder Cody Grounds unique vocals. The happy, shiny-sounding atmosphere created by much of their music is impressively combined with lyrics that are oftentimes darker and edgier. Its intelligent and danceable all at once.
Shortly after the release of Forecast a Brainstorm, Cody was joined by Garrett Johnston on guitar and Eryk Lugo on bass. The three Wacoan’s moved to Austin, Texas, where Loxsly incorporated its fourth member, Justin Douglas, who had also fled to Austin, though not to escape from small town life. He had recently been kicked out of Montreal for being a non-citizen. Justin, an audio engineer, had recently graduated from Berklee and responded to a classified ad that Cody had posted requesting drummers. Justin didn't play drums, but offered his abilities on the pedal steel and a multitude of other instruments. The boys then duped longtime friend John Kelley into learning how to play drums.

Now four years strong, the guys are taking it another step further. After the release of Flashlights, they are working on a full-length album and a music video (directed by guitarist Garrett Johnston) to follow. Recommended!

I really enjoy My Morning Jacket last album, thanks man :)
I just checked the DCFC link.
These are not the "Narrow Stairs" songs except for "I will possess..."
The songs are very catchy and the voice of the singer is similar to Ben Gibbard.
Sounds quite amazing to me.
Anyone got an idea who this is?
thanks an have a nice weekend

Ziggy your popularity is rising. :) and i'm still fucking shocked people are dim enough to request bands in the comments. never ceases to amaze me.
i requested M83's album on his last blog entry and he posted a link to it in this one.
dim, or am i just the recipient of good luck and sheer coincidence?
I've picked up a few albums via request in comments.
This person feels like an Indie Music Blog insider for saying shit like that.
thanks a lot.
