Over the past few months I have been learning about so many bands, some new, some old, some good, some, well, not so good. The time has come where I finally feel the urge to make a public statement of “Hey, this artist has really caught my ear this last month!” So here we go.
The two words, “so good” come to mind when I think about this artists music. I feel like his music is so much more unique than a lot of the music we hear these days and I guess the impression that it has made on me was just enough to make him the artist in spotlight for this month. Though, I must say that the competition was tough this month. I struggled between so many, but this one guy just stuck out more than the others.
Who is David Condos and why does his music sound so good? If you’ve heard the song “Like Wolves” or “I Should Be Lost Without You” then you’ve heard the sweet sound of his music. You would understand how his music is passionate and emotive, drawing you in to it’s message, but at the same time causing you to feel something within yourself. His music is simply beautiful, but there is a sweet complexity to it. I wish I could think of more ways to say “it’s just that lovely”. You see, David has been writing music since he was pretty young, but while he was in college, a guy from his church back home heard him play and wanted to help him record a CD. I love when artists are just kind of doing their thing and all of the sudden they have the opportunity to do what they’ve been doing forever… making music for us to enjoy.
I’m not even really sure how I came across his music. I think I was on iTunes going from one recommended artist to another when I came across the CD, Born After Vinyl, Volume 1. Out of all the musicians I sampled from that CD, it was his music that really made its way into my head (and my heart). It just kind of lingered there and made itself comfortable while embedding itself deep within my thoughts.
He doesn’t really do solo stuff right now, but is in a new band called Milktooth. I must admit I haven’t looked into their stuff too much, but I look forward to when I do. Be sure to check out his myspace page for both him and Milktooth.
Seriously, he is worth a listen.
