The R's

Add Date: October 18 

Artist: The R's 

Album: De Fauna et Flora 

Label: Foolika 

Genre: Pop rock 

Comments: The R's' three members all hail from Italy. I don't have any Durutti Column references, but I can tell you they've produced a sound very similar to earlier Drums. Lots of sparse pop, a well-executed, timely bass guitar, the non-too-complicated drums, a vocalist who falls somewhere in between that of Girls or some surf-rock artists--all these things create a laid-back album that's worth a listen on some lazy day. Try "On Our Minds" or "Panama Hat".
