The Sour Notes
Hometown: Austin, Texas
Tags: indie, under 2000 listeners, sxsw 2010
“Never short on hooks or ambition, The Sour Notes play brittle pop for star-crossed post-grads. Frontman Jared Boulanger knows a good deal about transitional periods, having led several versions of the band. On rising tides of lonesome guitars and glimmering synths, the band builds its postmillennial laments, occasionally nodding to Krautrock and frequently conceding to soundtrack-worthy mood.”-Erik Adams, The Onion AV Club, http://www.avclub.com/artists/the-sour-notes,13870/
