Tartufi

Add Date: March 9

Artist: Tartufi

Album: Nests of Waves and Wires

Label: Southern

Genre: Pop, Experimental

Comments: From the promoter:

"San Fransisco's Tartufi return to the studio and record Nests of Waves and Water with the help of Tim Green (Joanna Newsom, Alela Diane, Monotonix). "Further exploring the boundaries of vocal and instrumental layering, polyrhytmic deconstruction and song arrangement, [the album] is a lush and weighty mix of the band's compositional sensibilites and sonic daydreams."

The Onion called it "ear-shattering mind-crushing music to shatter your minds and sex your ears to," and with all the interesting layers of jarring noise and melody, I might mave to agree.
Tartufi sounds something like Animal Collective, Born Ruffians/Unicorns turned dark, or Do Make Say Think. For the radio, try the short "System Folds," but if you've got some time, check out "Hole or Space" or "Fleet Week."
