Others\, li ke San Francisco-based Odd Owl\, create a genre to fit their music. &ldquo \;It&rsquo\;s pretty hard for us to make music that isn&rsquo\;t honest ab out who we are\,&rdquo\; says Caruso\, Odd Owl&rsquo\;s lead singer and ke yboardist. &ldquo\;What we create is just an extension of our musical expe riences\, it&rsquo\;s not some role we&rsquo\;re trying to play. Besides\, &rdquo\; she laughs\, &ldquo\;I&rsquo\;ve never been very good at acting a nyways.&rdquo\; Said to &ldquo\;produce some incredible new era indie musi c&rdquo\; [Br00d\, Neighbors Hate Us]\, the group&rsquo\;s members have fu sed their musical influences together into their own brand of &ldquo\;indi e dance-rock\,&rdquo\; drawing from genres such as chamber pop\, funk\, lo -fi\, and alternative dance.\n\nCaruso\, a classically-trained vocalist wi th a master&rsquo\;s in electro-acoustic music\, brings an affinity for fu nk\, 60s pop\, and vocal harmony in order to create melodies &ldquo\;that people can put in their pocket and take home with them.&rdquo\; Not your u sual frontwoman\, she also records and produces the band&rsquo\;s albums\, provides song arrangements\, and tinkers with music technology\, using a MIDI controller which connects to her laptop on stage. Jacobsen\, a self-t aught guitarist and also a prolific songwriter\, adds Talking Heads-inspir ed guitar hooks to the mix as well as his love for wordplay. Drummer Adam Wadenius\, in his attention to rhythmic detail\, adds subtle\, rhythmic sh ifts &ldquo\;so that the listener won&rsquo\;t see what&rsquo\;s coming ne xt\,&rdquo\; which keeps their live sound moving dynamically. And Munoz\, Odd Owl&rsquo\;s bassist\, is also a musical Swiss Army knife\, playing gu itar\, keyboards\, synthesizers\, lap steel\, harmonica\, jaw harp\, mando lin\, and even spoons.

But underneat h the \; simple melodies lie an impeding darkness\, a lyrical landscap e populated by shadowy and bizarre characters\, rife with hints of rot\, a ging\, and death.
