Haven’t been posting about music a lot lately, because I’m getting a bit tired of stuff that sounds great for a couple of 
listens, only to be left behind afterwards. What I needed in order to get some of the excitement back was to discover a new obscure band with a huge back catalogue. Cheer-Accident are no Cardiacs (what is?), but they’ll do 
And of course, half the fun is tracking down all their albums, or at least the good ones.
Cheer-Accident are an especially good band to discover, cos all their albums sound quite different, at least from what I’ve heard so far. A truly progressive band is a rare thing nowadays. Fear Draws Misfortune, their new one, is the one closest to classic prog – lots of keyboards, a good balance of melody and dissonance, and influences from stuff like King Crimson circa Larks and Red, and Gentle Giant or Magma. Grab it.
Bonus: their 1991 album Dumb Ask, a raw, dark grungy monster. Here’s a sample, ‘Whitewash’
Unfortunately, they recently signed to Cuneiform and they’ve even got a review in pitchfork now, which means soon all the indie fags will be gagging over them, so grab’em while they’re still kvlt.
