\"CBDC1AsUsAI6LCQ-1\"Thousand has tapped into a dreamy pop folk goldmine and melded their finds with grainy, sultry vocals to create what I love\/hate to dub a perfect summer album. It\u2019s disappointing, though, that many of the tracks (5 out of 12) won\u2019t get to hit our airwaves because of FCC violations. Regardless! There\u2019s enough gooey goodness within the clean tracks.<\/p>\n

These guys barely exist on the www, so if obscurity floats your musical boat then this is it. They\u2019re a 4 piece group signed to Talitres, a French label that \u201chouses an eccentric roster of wordly indie musicians\u201d, and released some of The National\u2019s earlier work. None of the artists signed to them rung a bell, but there could be some good stuff there if you want to go fishing for indie shiz.<\/p>\n

Definitely forming their own musical molds, Thousand bases their tracks around intricate electric guitar melodies, spacey synth, intimate vocals, and twisted, intriguing lyrics.This album feels like jumping into a swimming pool whilst being drunk at 2 pm in the middle of the summer. If you like the clean tracks, I highly, highly recommend listening to the entire album. There is a cohesive dreamy pop folk sound within this album but there are unexpected soiree\u2019s into darkness.<\/p>\n

If you listen to anything on this album, listen to Track 1, The Flying Pyramid. It\u2019s catchy as hell, and a perfect summer single.
