Hideous Men. That is all. Good day, sirs. No! This duo, Kristi and Ryan from Denver, Colorado, need no words to describe their awesomeness, but that would be a terrible injustice to all the people out there who read blogs to discover their new music fetish. Hideous Men is half dance-happy, as heard in “Talons,” and half dream scape music that is fresh with bibs, tings, bops, hidden hip-hop beats, and hollow atmospheric discoveries to keep you on your ear-toes. I have listened to their self titled EP like six times and I already want to marry it. It promotes escapism and wakes you up to dance even when you don’t wanna! Let ‘em in, boys!

This is a true story. The other day I was at the dentist. And as many of us do, I absolutely despise the experience. The only thing that got me through the bloody mess, beside being doped up on whatever the doctor gave, was this brief moment of wonderful music euphoria that came over me as he drilled away.
