So you’re down south in some dusty Texas saloon drinking your worries away. A screeching sound blazes out from the corner of the dank bar. There’s Sonic Youth decked out in full country garb (with ten gallon hats and all). They go on to play countrified versions of their normal crazy set. That’s the type of sound that comes across when I listen to the Great Bloomers new EP. They have a country/folk inspired sense of indie rock, but their audio tendencies lack the structure that usually pairs with that genre. The Great Bloomers slide on the edge of experimental often associated with bands like Sonic Youth or Grizzly Bear. So the end result is a free flowing country sound that is unlike anything I’ve really heard in a long time. Go ahead. Take a seat at the bar. Tie one on with Toronto’s Great Bloomers. They’ve also just signed with Grifter Music (Sea Wolf, The Old Soul) and have a debut album in the works.
