We’re excited to play you some cuts from our upcoming EP “The Facts of Evolution,” plus some other surprises.

We’ll be opening, so come early and catch the whole show. It’s gonna be a blast!!!

This album is perfect for a long drive on a sunny day. The EP starts out with a track fit for the beach, as “It Was A Drag” uses simple chords, drum tracks, and high-pitched vocals for a happy, poppy effect. The album progresses to become more intense and dramatic, as the instrumental work becomes more complicated and the melodies more thought provoking. By the time “Metronome” comes on, the album takes a 180 and suddenly a heavy bass drum introduces piano chords in a minor key. Here the group enters Radiohead territory.

Overall, this album shows a wide range of musicianship from each of the four members. Not one of the songs sounds like the other, and each musician proves his capabilities with the wide range of sounds produced by each instrument. The songs are powerful and filled with an array of emotion. If this album doesn’t send you on a meditative journey, it will definitely take you on a ride through different spectrums of sounds and melodies, and make you wonder where this band is headed next.

Banana Phonetic & Otis Grove
Tomorrow night at Precinct in Somerville.
It’s gonna be a great show and if you haven’t heard Otis Grove yet, you really need to do that. We’re really psyched to be playing with such awesome bands these days.

We encourage everyone to go over to MusicFloss.com and create an account to download our album. It’s totally free and, in our opinion, a revolutionary service that has a unique philosophy about today’s music industry. Aside from getting the artists 100% of the proceeds from music sales, the site strives to create a real connection directly from the band to the audience. As artists and fans, we have a limited opportunity to seize the industry for ourselves. What MusicFloss aims to do, beyond securing more revenue for artists, is create a site with a sustainable business model that also offers PR interaction and creates a conversation between fans, artists and labels too. There’s our two cents. We really urge you to go to MusicFloss, make an account
(download our EP for free!) and support music for musics sake…

“Metronome” certainly has a lot to say. There are certainly “walls” between the subsections of this track – once a movement has begun, it seems difficult to remember the past ones – but there are no jarring differences. This track leaves you not really with a specific hook or melody in mind, instead it provides a memory of a lengthy, colorful trip.
