Cap Pas Cap - Said Say It

Here's another up-and-coming Dublin band. Like a lot of the current bands on this blog, Cap Pas Cap have a distinctly retro sound (sure, who doesn't these days) but in their case it's the more experimental/art rock/no-wave genres they hark back to. They're immensely entertaining live, not quite as enthralling to listen to at home but still interesting if you're into this sort of thing.

This is a 2007 single.

Tuxedomoon - What Use

Here's something a little different. I'm not a big fan of the "experimental" strain of post-punk, but there's just enough tune in this early track from San Francisco's Tuxedomoon to earn the Cinnamon stamp of approval.

If you like this sort of thing, the album it's from, 1980's Half-Mute on Ralph Records, seems to be widely considered a classic of the genre. But as I said, not generally my cup of tea (this song and one or two others aside).
