"my tongue is heavy lying in bed / Cora / you're in the corner / combing your hair / Cora..."
The choppy indie rock bends and poetic dalliances of "Cora", by Austin Texas based three piece The Stayres, is brazenly raw and artfully 80's-esque indie rock / power pop forward. The sound is amazingly dense for a three piece with Hunter Darby's thumping bass and Travis Garaffa's shuffling tom tom beats potently building frameworks for guitarist and singer Mike Nicolai to do his thing. The aesthetic here is all post punk-esque, power pop-ish indie rock meat and potatoes, no need for soup or salad (despite the faint sci-fi synth rearing it's head during the ostensible fade out) and Nicolai's vocal countenance feels has the right amount of aloof coolness and back of the throat grittiness. I feel hints of folk / jangle pop remnants and busker punk as well in his rock indie drawl.
I have not yet delved into The Styres album "Duplex", where "Cora" resides, but hope to.
