Not Mine by Grape Soda

Anchored by one of the best songs I'd heard this year ("Not Mine"), this produbbed, four track cassette EP is an exercise in avant-pop simplicity. Brothers Mat and Ryan Lewis from Athens, GA work solely with drums, organ and vocals, and manage to create music that's both intensely catchy and tastefully complex at the same time. Fuzzy organ melodies meet an up-front, but balanced rhythm section to create a more fundamental and meaningful pop structure than most bands can achieve.
