Stricken City – Animal Festival
There was a time when Stricken City seemed like they could be the coolest band ever. Everything about them hit the right note. Songs that were abstract yet accessible. A hip, arty style. The fusing of indie and dance that seemed to be huge back then. Maybe it was the early expectations, but I’ve found myself increasingly disappointed by their output since. There is nothing specifically wrong with it, at least nothing I can put my finger on. It just all seems a little tired at this point. Maybe that’s the problem with this sort of music. Taste is fleeting, so what seemed cool two years doesn’t really seem as exciting now. There’s still something here, and I can still see Stricken City becoming pretty big. They just don’t hold my own interest in the way that they once did. Myspace.

Can I be controversial? I think taste is fleeting – you’re right – and maybe they don’t seem cool now, but maybe that is cool? the fact that they stick to their guns and just do what they do instead of trying to be cool.
I dunno. we are all so fickle.
