Xeresa's Famous 5 playlist

American Football- Never Meant

"I stole their guitar tunings. I admit to it. Guilty!

I couldn’t understand why they sounded so different and when I tried to learn a song I realised they have tons of custom tunings . Never Meant is in open Fmaj7. FACGCE. Sounds beautiful. Put a capo on and move it about. Most Xeresa songs are in this tuning. Also they use a lot of weird time signatures, I use that a lot."

From American Football's self-titled full-length album, available here: Polyvinyl (CD, LP, Cassette, Digital) - http://bit.ly/1gPIE4J iTunes - http://www.smarturl.it/fcfced Amazon MP3 - http://amzn.to/R4SpPQ Spotify - http://bit.ly/RRLBWJ Rdio - http://on.rdio.com/1sEkLNO Directed and edited by Chris Strong Assistant Director: David Sampson Follow American Football: http://americanfootballmusic.com http://facebook.com/americanfootballmusic http://twitter.com/americfootball Boy: Max Lehman Girl: Melody Sample

El Ten Eleven- My Only Swerving

"They’re a duo with a drummer and a guitarist who uses a double neck, bass/guitar and lots of pedals. The songs are instrumental. They play lots of intricate stuff but make it sound really poppy somehow, catchy."

Album: El Ten Eleven Track: #1 Fun Fact: The album cover features a silhouetted trijet -- however, it is a Boeing 727, not a Lockheed L-1011.

The Postal Service- The District Sleeps Alone Tonight

"I love Ben Gibbard’s voice, and I love Death Cab For Cutie, they’re one of my fave bands but The Postal Service is special. The whole album is amazing, and in a way I’m happy they haven’t done much more. It’s perfect, untouched. The whole concept of heart wrenching pop songs with electronic beats and mangled strings is a big influence, also guest vocalists. A few of my songs started under the title of Postal Service Rip Off hahahaha"

Bjork- Hyperballad

"It’s unbelievably beautiful, the way it builds, the melodies, the fact it breathes, it’s sparse but dense. Her voice is incredible, you’re never quite sure what you’re hearing , it’s kinda shoegazey in a way."

From the album "Post".

The Decemberists- The Engine Driver

"Not an influence but I just think it’s one of the best songs ever and not something I could write, it’s out of my songwriting comfort zone. It has an amazing storyline and lyrics and I can’t do that. I’m not Nick Cave and I never will be"

OK i did this outta complete boredom!! ^_^ it's a cool song, i know there's only one pic but enjoy the music! ALL RIGHTS GO TO DECEMBERISTS!!! I DID NOT SING OR WRITE THIS SONG!! THE ALBUM COVER IS THEIRS!!
