Description
You & Me discovered one day that moving air around in varying patterns and frequencies resulted in widely varying responses in other humans that could not be attributed to environmental factors. The research team as we know You & Me today consists of people who were in other teams before in Dallas and Austin (Squelch's, The Gift, Steve, Scar Story).
In 2004 You & Me started documenting its musical observations in a studio with recording guru Salim Nourallah. 3 experiments quickly turned into 9, and soon the trio had a full-blown album, "formerly high horse" on their hands.
Listeners describe the sensation of You & Me as progressive rock, yet with a lot more casual melody and 70s-style groove pop rhythm than that.
You & Me are:
Jason English - vocals, bass, drums, keys, etc.
Patrick Lenihan - guitar (crushing riffs)
William Kelley - guitar (punishing licks)
REVIEW from Jason M. at SAMPLE PRESS:
When I read the description "modern alterna-pop meets 70s prog rock" in the band's press kit, I engaged in a bit of head scratching. I pondered it's import briefly before playing the disc and, after listening to it, I don't know that the description is really adequate or entirely accurate. There are lots of laid back melodies like "Billy Jack" and "Gypsies", both of which are poppy in that Guided By Voices slant. "Drunk Man" sounds like it was a lot of fun to jam on, with the lyrics and chorus invoking the modern alterna-pop deities. At the end of the song things dissolve/evolve into a proggy outro. It's cool, but a bit long. In fact, some of the noodling seems to go on a bit longer than it should throughout the album. Overall the record sounds like it might've been made in the 70s (that's not a bad thing) with more than a few nods to classic big radio rock. Worth a listen.
