viva voce

i picked up viva voce's album, 'the heat can melt your brain' for $2 at sanity after i had a impulse for new music...
why the fuck was this $2? stupid sanity. i've been listening to this album a lot, it's brilliant. different, lyrically kicks ass, i likey likey.
they are an american indie band, and this album is really quite mellow but with a dark texture. the delicacy and innocence of anita's voice, contrasted with the heavy melancholic feel of the music makes magic.

oh la la...and wikipedia tells me they toured with the shins...cool...
they have a new album 'rose city' which was released last month, and three others which i may have to get my hands on, scavange around a bit.


three song i basically have on repeat:
lesson no.1


the lucky ones


high highs

the forever unsatisfied human thirst.

it's the human condition to want more and more. we are never, and can never be satisfied with what we have; whether this is a material item or a state of mind, it's never enough to feed eternal happiness. can you ever be content with sitting still, leaving things untouched?

no, never.
