Daily Download: "Brittle Britches," Quien es, BOOM!

Deliciously intricate sounds with a (surprise!) vocalist.

Nov. 08, 2006 | BOOMAustin band Quien es, BOOM! (the name references Billy the Kid's purported last words before being shot, "Quien es?") makes music centered around lovely interlocking guitar parts and intricate -- sometimes too intricate -- drumming. They clearly put so much thought into the instrumental lines, the discreet but delicious bits of electronic ear candy and the way they interact that it's a surprise when, two minutes into this song, they bother adding a vocalist (although the vocals are, in fact, quite nice, and in a fittingly fastidiously phrased style).
