Thao with the Get Down Stay Down


Sometimes I hear an artist and think "why have I never heard of them before!?" That is how I feel about Thao and the gang. With a folky sound, Thao takes their cue from recent trends. Just like other successful folk acts on the charts today the sound is poppy enough to be handled by the preteen crowd, but the vocals are genuine enough to be both adult and music critic friendly. The simple laidback image, free of sequin pant suits, matches the mood of the music. Music that will become a perfect soundtrack for the summer of 2008.


WRAP IT UP:
Hot Track(s): Bag of Hammers, Beat (Life, Health and Fire)
Kind of Like: Tegan and Sara breaks up and the happier sounding one meets three boys and makes more music.

PREDICTION:
A top 40 album in North America.
