Desert City Soundtrack
"Funeral Car"

When I first heard this cd, it just clicked. I can't describe exactly what it is about this cd that made it stand out, but even after that first listen i knew that it was different, that this band was special. Desert City Soundtrack is best described as a combination of sounds established by several bands that will be familiar to many. The comparisons to cursive are no doubt the most obvious, but that comparison only begins to describe the musical sounds and influences present on this release. With harder yelling parts that remind one of more minimal hardcore, and acoustic piano parts, Desert City Soundtrack defies being placed in one specific genre or another. The overall melancholy and somber tone might lead some to pigeonhole DCS as emo, but really they are more "emotional post hardcore". With songs about death, love, and the loss of love, the songs are interesting if not unique. Be ready to find something new on every track.
