HOUNDSds: Conduct (Chill Mega Chill, 2013)

Jangle de libro, Jangle a lo Feelies, a lo Smiths, a lo Real Estate… HOUNDSds tienen la maestría y la pericia para emocionarnos a base de Ep´s.

“HOUNDSds is the recording project (and sometimes band) of multi-instrumentalist Patrick McIntyre. As HOUNDSds, McIntyre produces lush guitar pop with influences culled everywhere from 60’s psychedelia and sunshine pop, 70’s soul and post-punk, and classic 80’s indie pop and new wave. To date, McIntyre has released several EPs as HOUNDSds including Phone Thou (2012, Chill Mega Chill Records), Los Dos (2011), and The Technology of Love (2010). HOUNDSds has contributed to several compilations, including Hearing Gold’s Vacation Spirit (2012), both volumes of Chill Mega Chill’s Halloween comp, The Chiller (2011, 2012), the Sunchoke artist network’s Winter Warmer (2012), and been featured on blogs from all over the world”

HOUNDSds: Phone thou (2012)

El Synth-Pop o la Electrónica suave mezclado con los ingredientes justos de Dream-Pop. Algo así es como definiríamos la música de este enigmático proyecto llamado HOUNDSds. Según parece, surgieron de la mente de un chico de Brooklyn llamado Patrick McIntyre, quien tan sólo quiso facturar canciones de Dream-Pop. Quizás animado, y tras un par de proyectos anteriores: The technology of love (2010) y Los Dos (2011), el grupo edita su primer disco en formato físico, concretamente en cassette (sí, ese formato revivido), en el sello Chill Mega Chill. Se trata de una colección de siete canciones en las que HOUNDSds explora algo más en las relaciones personales expresándose por medio de ese Dream-Pop aderezado con tintes Electrónicos y sintes analógicos. Un disco muy agradable de escuchar y que regalan en su Bandcamp si tú le pones el precio que consideres oportuno. Un ejercicio saludable.

“Distant childhood memories, blurred pictures of carefree days in the sunshine, long gone smiling faces. Brooklyn’s Patrick McIntyre, who usually plays drums for The Stoned Ambassadors, has a side project oddly named HOUNDSds (he’s got another, guitar-oriented one called The Joy of Painting), which unavoidably evokes such recollections,… McIntyre remains truthful to original 80s synth pop, dreamy textures, discreet drum machine patterns and reverb-laden vocals that take the listener immediately 25 years back” (nofearofpop.net)

HOUNDSds: Los dos (2011)

Dream-Pop de factura cristalina, temas de estructura envolvente y atmósferas cálidas. Algo así podríamos definir la música de HOUNDSds, el proyecto de un chico residente en Brooklyn llamado Patrick McIntyre, batería de una banda llamada The Stoned Ambassadors. Temas como Alone o Weak son un remanso de paz y tranquilidad con la sonoridad de las guitarras muy limpias, con los Cocteau Twins como referencia.

HOUNDSds – Los dos (2011)

“I actually found these guys on Twitter which is proving to be an excellent way to find good, new music. It’s a quick and easy way to recommend several artists at once. Getting people to actually go and check them out is really only the hard part. But back to HOUNDSds. I downloaded this EP knowing close to nothing about the band. The only information that their bandcamp gives about the band is that they are from Brooklyn. Other than that I just had to let the music speak for itself. Turns out it had alot to say. I’m actually rather surprised that I hadn’t heard them before because they are really good. Their crystalline dream pop could be described as “bedroom pop” but the band traverses places here that are much farther from home. If you were a fan of Wild Nothing’s Gemini, then I can see Los Dos striking a similar chord with you” (cactus-mouth.tumblr.com)
