Details:
Effervescent and haunting, The New Centuriesâ debut EP is brimming with subtle urgency â an anxiousness that is enveloped by guitarist Jeff Bissellâs Johnny Marr-inspired riffs undulating in syncopated time with Ryan Bogartâs languid, terse vocals. Bogartâs voice seems to have been dragged over an ice-coated gravel bed while at a tender age, combining elements of disaffected cynicism with emotive clarity. Eccentric keyboards and Sabrina Crawfordâs percussion reign in the conjoined antics, punctuating any tangential dalliances. The New Centuries at once invoke Velvet Underground (as sung by Ian Curtis) and include a palate of influences ranging from The Magnetic Fields to Destroyer.

The New Centuries is a San Francisco based band that makes some incredibly infectious indie-rock music that at times has quite a strong âdanceyâ feel to it. Iâve been listening to their music continuously since last Thursday and have given the songs a bit of time because despite knowing they were brilliant the second I heard them from their Myspace page, they quickly began to grow on me even more with every listen. It seem this trend continues for quite a long time, with each track still getting better and better every time I play it on my iPod.
