Maximum Balloon -Maximum Balloon-

I was hoping to love this album by David Sitek (Guitarist of TV on the Radio, Record Producer [Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Liars, Foals and so on]) side project, Maximum Balloon, but not really. I played it twice and I was finding myself deleting more songs that I thought they where okay the first time around. David Byrne (Talking Heads), Holly Miranda and Little Dragon where being deleted. The standout track (which I think she should do a solo album for fun) is Karen O's "Communion". Thats a MUST DOWNLOAD! A MUST!!!!! I like the album cover the most. It reminds me of that French film "The Red Ballon".

David Sitek took a risk in making a dance album and I like artists that step out from there comfort zone. So kudos.

HOLLY $H*T! This is...........AWESUM!

When I 1st heard of Holly Miranda was when she open up 4 The.xx & Friendly Fires @CASBAH (San Diego, CA) last year. At 1st I was not so crazy about her until the 3rd song on her set and I was in. So I looked her up and downloaded, “Nobody Sees Me Like You Do” (very Bjork style song. A MUST DOWNLOAD) and fell in love w/her. I was super Xcited when I heard she was workin w/Uber indie producer; Dave Sitek (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Liars and TV on the Radio). This is a perfect album 2 play after a late nite out on the town dancin. Very chill and relaxin. Now go buy sum candles w/this album (The Magician's Private Library).
