GYBE! are the best, but Labradford and Windy & Carl are almost as good. > In my opinion they are a canadian orchestra for "emo" > manic depressives. I don't think they're depressing at all. In fact, many of their songs are ultimately quite uplifting and radiant. They're definitely sad sometimes, maybe melancholy, definitely cinematic, but far from depressing... no more (or less, I suppose) depressing than Dirty Three... And they don't sound anything like "emo", but I'm sure you know that. > i'm coming out as a non-sonic youth fan for ya...i love "teenage riot" and > "100%" but beyond that i find them overrated and irritating...i dont' like > noise for the sake of noise, personally. I won't debate anyone's taste in music... I think Sonic Youth are consistently "very good" but rarely "great"... BUT they are anything but "noise for the sake of noise". Jesus, I hate to imagine what you'd think of Merzbow or some of the Boredoms' stuff. If you like "Teenage Riot" and "100%" I'd think you'd like the entire albums -Daydream Nation-, -Goo-, and -Dirty-... there's really almost no "noise" on any of those. I've yet to hear one good emo band. The singer for SDRE... now THAT'S what I call "noise for the sake of noise".
