Today I found out about a new UK quintet that goes by the Miserable Rich. They make beautiful acoustic chamber pop that I find stands up well alongside like-minded artists (and TYS favs) like Lost in the Trees and Brooke Waggoner. One listen was enough for me to start posting this, and even though I know next to nothing about this band, I know I want to pay attention to what they’re doing. They have an album out in Europe come March titled 12 Ways to Count, but beyond that all I know is you can listen to 4 tracks of theirs on their blog as well as the ones on their myspace. I’ll keep you all posted when I know more, but I figured this is just too good to keep a secret. Great for sitting back, closing your eyes, and relaxing.
In the meantime, enjoy this cover they did of Hot Chip’s “Over and Over.” Bet you never knew that you wanted that song to have a dark chamber pop reworking, did you? Enjoy…
