New Discovery: Save The Clocktower

Chicago's own Save The Clocktower has been rattling the cages of some local bloggers recently with a blend of quirky keys, restrained beats and delicate guitar that accent the subtly soulful vocal work. Their sound has been evolving from their earlier tracks to their new album Carousel. The songs given below ably represent their range, from the simple beauty on "Drip" that gets broken up by moments of thick grooves to the pop sensibility of "The One Thing" that channels the spookiness of The Knife while still capturing an element of sugary innocence. The trio is putting on a huge record release party for Carousel on February 26 at The Hideout with many openers and a rip roaring dance party afterward courtesy of Carrie and Mary of Smashing Time. Come check them out with me and don't be too shy to stop over and say hi.
