Music: Rock/Pop JellyNYC presents I'm from Barcelona w/ Thao Nguyen with the Get Down Stay Down

  • Barcelona_event_full

IFB mastermind Emanuel Lundgren isn't actually from Barcelona, but the 28 other musicians in his supergroup aren't making an issue out of it. As twee as the Polyphonic Spree are grandiose, I'm from Barcelona squeeze onto the stage armed with banjos, clarinets, kazoos, and the like. Creating sweetly orchestral pop songs in the tradition of the Beach Boys and the Elephant 6 collective, Lundgren displays impressive restraint, showcasing delicate, folk-inspired melodies without muddling them. For their part, his musicians layer their significant vocal talents on top of everything, creating a gorgeously humble wall of sound that envelops rather than overwhelms.
