Covering all the Music You Didn't Know About Since '96

If Modest Mouse was to have a less strung out sounding heir apparent then Capybara could almost fit that bill; that is they stopped wandering the planet of Indie Rock and came down to join us humans for a while. Using falsetto and cracked voiced vocals to their harmonic advantage, Capybara churns out light harmonies and sparse rock rhythms. Often commanding a presence, “Try Brother” is a group of melodies arranged almost sporadically but within that chaos there is order and that order is pleasant on the eardrums. Capybara may garner their moniker from a semi-aquatic rodent but there’s not ratty or ROUS (rodents of unusual size) about them. Party music for the people that aren’t ever invited to parties.
