Mp3 Of The Week: “A Choppy Yet Sincere Apology” by Riverboat Gamblers

Last week I was lucky to come upon the new single by Austin, Texas natives Riverboat Gamblers. The song, “A Choppy Yet Sincere Apology,” will be on their new album, Underneath The Owl.

The song at first came off as a slightly generic rock song, but what makes me ultimately want to write about here is its deepening sense of surreal underneath the pumping licks and strong sense of melody.

If you listen closely to the song (without looking at the lyrics, that’s cheating!) all these weird images pop up. The refrain repeats, “Like a pick in a hollow-body,” and I swear I heard something about tentacles. Its overall effect is pretty cool and has that “double-take” thing going for it.

Look out for these kids, Riverboat Gamblers I’m pretty sure will be big and I hope they keep things this weird. I mean their new album is going to be called Underneath The Owl! How cool is that?

The gamblers have been well-known around Austin, texas, for some time now. I'm impressed with their new single, but they have changed quite a bit. While they may only now be taking off, Underneath the Owl is infact their fifth (yes, fifth) album. Their first two are punk as all get out, with a southern flavor.

If you ever have an opportunity to catch these guys do one of their famous live show, don't miss it. It's definitely what they're known for...I also know some of them personally and they're genuinely cool cats too.
