Catchy indie rock with great story-telling-style lyrics & boy/girl vocals / RIYL: Jason Anderson, Ted Leo
The Rentiers have been around for a few years now, existing as a project for Joel Tannenbaum (Plow United, Snow Fairies, Skywriters, etc.) and whoever he ropes into recording with him (and that's a pretty long cast of characters!). His musical roots are indiepop and DIY punk, but with the Rentiers, he doesn't limit himself to just one genre. No, you'll find a wide variety of styles from indiepop to electropop to reggae, though his forte (and thus, the majority of the songs on this collection) is catchy indie rock with a particular knack for descriptive storytelling, usually co-sung by himself and a female vocalist. Just listen to songs like 'Jessica And Dan And A Cat Named Bolt Thrower' and 'The Third Floor', for example, and you'll find real depth in there. Dive into the fun and diverse world of the Rentiers!
