Girl With No Flowers Left To Give by Happy Idiot (5463 KB)
Listen on posterous
Grunge sounding, Oakland based, Happy Idiot is mix of jazz, punk, blues, and some bluegrass in the vocals. The three piece band released their EP during September of 2009.
Taking form in 2001, Happy Idiot just released their second EP, Clutch At The Branch. The EP definitely exhibits all their genre hopping skills. From some grunge, punk, garage rock, and some hints of other genres in there. I felt a lot of angst in some songs ("1969") and a push toward a post-punk sound.
This EP has to be one of the more unique and different EPs I've heard in a long while. Not all songs sound the same (even though the bass could use some work), the vocals have a few ups and downs, which is always good for a short-length record. Continuing through the album, there needs to be a full-length LP release after this for it to completely rock.
The trio continues to play live shows around the Bay Area. If you're looking for a good taste of their music, check out their pages: myspace & homepage. I included a song I myself enjoyed.
