For the next couple of weeks, I'll be taking a look at some of my favourite albums of the past year. At #10, it's !!!
Yes, the band is called !!!, pronounced usually as chk-chk-chk. Their last album, Myth Takes, was one of my favourite albums of 2007 and this album is their first since the tragic and unforeseen death of drummer Jerry Fuchs in 2009. Strange Weather, Isn't It sees the band still making slinky, playful electro-funk, but the sound is slightly more subdued, slightly less angular. Just slightly more mature. This isn't the same back that recorded "Pardon My Freedom", but it's pretty close. The band sounds more focused and seem poised to make a step into something bigger.
