In Heavy Rotation: The Strange Boys – Be Brave – In The Red

The Strange Boys – Laugh At Sex, Not Her

This record’s been out for a long minute, but I’ve only recently become addicted to the off-kilter garage sounds of this Austin, Texas group. Actually, the sound of the group is quite polished, it’s Ryan Sambol who gives the group an odd sound, all because of his vocals. It’s hard to describe the appeal of them, he sounds like a cross between Bob Dylan and Pat from Saturday Night Live in the early 1990s, but appealing they are. That’s especially so in this track as Sambol considers some deep thoughts while his friends are having sex in next room, including this gem, “I smile and think, sex is like laughter, you do it differently with different people and sometimes you feel sick after.”
