Music Monday Pick: Seth Osborn of the Tiny Tin Hearts
Welcome to Music Monday Picks, where once a week we talk to an Austin musician and find out what’s been burning up their CD player, turntable or iPod lately. Looking for a good musical recommendation? Take some advice from someone in the local music trenches who knows their stuff. Recommendations can be local, national or international, new or old. They only need to fit two criteria: 1) the musician in question needs to have just discovered them, and 2) it has to be fantastic.
This week: We grab a quick e-mail pick from Seth Osborn, vocalist and piano and banjo player for the Tiny Tin Hearts, the sweeping eight-piece rock collective that won the Austin Chronicle’s first Sound Wars battle of the bands and released its debut seven-song EP last year. The octet bring their classical-influenced majesty to the Parish Saturday, June 26, on a bill that also includes Salesman and Doug Burr. Doors open at 8 p.m., and the show is $10.
Seth Osborn recommends: “Treats,” the debut album from Brooklyn noise pop duo Sleigh Bells, which has received accolades from Pitchfork, Paste magazine, the Chicago Tribune and others.
Seth Osborn says: “The newest band that I’ve discovered and have been enjoying pretty well is Sleigh Bells and their album ‘Treats’ — it’s like fuzzy distorted chaotic dance-y pop music. It’s definitely a passing phase of Brooklyn hipsterdom and pretty silly but a lot of fun to listen to.”
