More On This Album
While Typhoon’s epic debut album Hunger and Thirst somehow managed to fly under the radar (it was even named #5 on Amazon MP3′s Outstanding 2010 Albums You Might Have Missed) their brand new EP A New Kind Of House will surely launch Typhoon into the indie spotlight. With many appearances lined-up for this years SXSW Music Fest Paste Magazine has named Typhoon one of it’s 20 SXSW Bands You Might Not Know (But Should). We couldn’t agree more and can’t wait to see them at our annual Opening Day Bash!
Paste placed them at #18 and had the following to say:
“Music critics throw around adjectives like “orchestral” and “expansive” all the time these days. Now here’s a band that actually deserves such labels. Portland’s Typhoon is an indie rock geek’s dream: a dynamic 12-piece with a seemingly unending reservoir of energy, emotive vocals, arpeggiated guitars, horns, multiple drum kits, strings—there are so many sonic details crammed into the five tracks on A New Kind of House, the band’s second official release, that you might need two pairs of headphones to properly connect the dots. —Ryan Reed”
