Free Music Notes for Comedy Horn
Free Music Review: Amazing, and yet it's their second best release.
Hit: 5 Stars
Being from Houston, Texas, I resent the fact that most good indie rock bands to come out of Texas are from Austin or Dallas. While they get the likes of Spoon, Bedhead, Trail Of Dead, and now Zykos. We in Houston get what? Scarface? DJ Screw? Wow! Apparently I'm in the wrong city.
"Comedy Horn" is a good album on its own. But compared to Zykos' self titled album it's subpar. Even with the release of their wonderful follow up, this album is still absolutely worth checking out.
One thing that is always apparent for me when listening to Zykos is the singer's voice. It's pretty unusual, and by no means in a bad way. His vocals are usually recorded raw. It is just him without any layering and only occasionally does he use some back up vocals from the female band member.
The song that really introduced me to Zykos was "Kodiak". I wrote a reveiw of their self titled album the other day and stated I could not remember how I was introduced to Zykos. But pulling this album out again has reminded me. I heard Zykos' song "Kodiak" on a sampler CD. I was immediately impressed and looked more into the band finding this album through their website because at the time it wasn't available on amazon.
Fans of Spoon, Interpol, indie rock in general should take notice of this band, because they are very good and have produced two extremely quality albums. Listening to this album again, and even though I already thought it good, I have realized that I still overlooked it a little.
Stand outs for me are "Kodiak", "The Gambler", "Comedy Horn", "Typhoon Of '92", "Listening Pills", "Zeroth" and "Hilarious Proof".
