Sad to have discovered them only recently, but nonetheless happy I did so..

This brilliant band hails from Sacramento, California and makes music that

blends elements of rock, jazz and ambient electronics with a characteristic unconventional

song structure that incorporates features such as alternating rhythmic patterns, start-stop dynamics (to mention a few)..these guys are basically genreless!

The 3-piece band has been around since 2005 , and has released 2 LP's.

The first one being self titled, and released during 2005, only to be to be re-issued by

Sargent House in 2008, and 'Patagonian Rats' which was released early in September 2010.

They started off searching for a vocalist, on the way decided to stick to an instrumental approach, and later on decided to embed some vocals, which is apparent on 'Patagonian Rats'.

Personally, I stand on the instrumental era, which to me provides the best example of their work.

Recently, they realeased their 'Zoo Weather' EP, which you can check out here.

At present, they are touring US with Marnie Stern.

Below are embedded videos of their 2 Lp's..Certainly, worth keeping an eye on!

- Accra Minoa -

We are made to believe, that most of the time there is nothing worth of notice
beyond the big urban city centres..and that is how worthwhile efforts never get the attention they really deserve..a band from Katerini, Accra Minoa, proves preconceptions such as that mentioned earlier to be truly stereotypical.
I hope and I expect, to see/hear much more from them in the future, and await to see them in Athens.
Check out their EP 'To create your favorite past'.

In my purely arrogant opinion, one of the best bands i've ever had the pleasure
coming across and which exist out there..I could go on talking forever about how
great i think their music is, but i'd be wandering off the point.
Please..enjoy their greatness for yourselves!
