Dare Me (Best New Music)

Dare Me by Oh! My Blackbird    (March 20, 2012) *

With an honest mastery of complex chord structures, the first Oh! My Blackbird full length, Dare Me, takes the groups signature style to new levels of polished beauty.  The album is filled with perfectly pitched harmonies and lyrical lines that combat the surrounding space for sanity.  If there was ever a band with something to say, OMB is it.  Their unequivocal ability to emote their most potent memories and aspirations sets them apart, sets them as shining beacons in the DIY community.  Ultimately, the album takes a somber, reflective moment; putting life into perspective, at least, for the artist.

Dare Me by Oh! My Blackbird   (March 20, 2012) *

In my days of writing Dingus, Oh! My Blackbird is easily one of the sweetest, most charming acts I’ve run into.  Now, with a new full length on the way titled, Dare Me, we’ve been blessed with ‘No Exit’ in preview.  Blackbird truly leaves us with a cliffhanger, a song that feels like it was literally written as a trailer.  Besides the song’s impeccable placement, the actual audio qualities are quite beautiful as well.  Taking full advantage of one of their biggest strengths, these New Yorkers make their angelic harmonies seem effortless.  They remain tight with one another, while dynamically unfolding in intricate contemporary patterns.  Check back in on March 20 for the full album release and review.
