Music I Like: Agent Ribbons

I’ve had a MySpace account for a while. A good, long while. In all of those years, I have never once been solicited by a band or musician I actually liked. But alas, after all that time, a miracle has indeed occurred! Ladies & gentlemen, I preset to you Sacramento’s own Agent Ribbons (minus the newest addition, violinist/cellist Naomi):

Actually, I should say two miracles. Not only are they good, but they’re also from Sacramento to boot! It’s like they say, the strongest of trees grow on the harshest of mountain tops. The lead singer Natalie’s vocals, while a little Cat Power-y at times, take us on a delightful journey of the ears, sounding like she’d be a good fit in some Eastern European burlesque troupe. Their music has sprinkles of punk, jazz, and folk, and would be a good fit on the playlist of those who have a taste for Gogol Bordello, Mirah, and The Decemberists.

Sample a song off their 2006 LP “On Time Travel and Romance”:

Agent Ribbons – Obituary

If you like what you hear, chances are they’re coming to a city near you! Check out their tour dates on their Myspace page, or give a listen to the other songs on their playlist.
