Have your revenge on Seattle.

02 Jul 2010 — NFOP

Noise in the sunshine. Fort Lauderdale's Ouija are among the few contemporary guitar bands on myspace that candidly list Nirvana as one of their main influences, but in this case it would be quite a tough job to deny that anyway. Though I wouldn't dare to call this "grunge", Ouija's approach to melody structures of utmost beauty within noisy and rough surroundings bears nonetheless a striking resemblance to early 90s northwestern rock. And without doubt, despite all the careless lo-fi attitude, this is pop in its purest form. This is most significant as regards Belladonna: if you are patient enough (and you should be), out of all that hiss and roar an absolute gem of a tune will unfurl.

Thanks to the marvelous Ashtapes for directing us to Ouija.
