If you like reviews that name drop a bunch of bands on the way to describing something that sounds really good, you'll love this demo from Dominant Legs.
Dominant Legsis the project of Ryan William Lynch, with a little help from the alliterated Hannah Hunt. They make fragile pop songs that sound like Arthur Russell covering Aztec Camera's back catalog. Perhaps this is how Roddy Frame's early recordings would have sounded if he'd grown up in San Francisco instead of East Kilbride. The music also shares a little of Ariel Pink's misty 80s nostalgic spirit. See if you like it (you will, you fucking cynic) by listening to the track below. Dominant Legs - "Young at Love and Life" (Demo) Being the multimedia web titans that we atViceare, we're also including a YouTube video that's been made for the song "Just Silly Ones." It proves that Ryan Lynch not only writes really great songs, but he also had some really shitty haircuts throughout his youth. Perhaps it's the memory of these which fuels the melancholy that haunts his music.
