<\/a><\/p>\n Post-trip-hop? Schizo-soul? Glitch pop? Like the best crossover music, it\u2019s hard to pin down the idiosyncratic style of breakout Australian band Collarbones. One of the duo\u2019s members, Travis Cook, describes it as \u201cwhat it sounds like when you stick a second-hand Rihanna CD into your stereo and it skips every now and again<\/a>.\u201d The best way that I\u2019ve found to describe it is this: At work or at home or on the bus or in the library, I can\u2019t stop spinning the album.<\/p>\n Iconograpny<\/em>, Collarbones\u2019 forthcoming debut album, was recorded while Cook and bandmate Marcus Whale were on the opposite ends of Australia. They recorded snippets, chopped samples, and wrote melodies at their respective homes and shared the new parts over the web. Created under such circumstances, it\u2019s a marvel how cohesive and polished the tracks sound, how nuanced and aesthetically polished the young band\u2019s style comes across.<\/p>\n Collarbones released three singles (with remixes aplenty) in the year leading up to Iconography\u2019s<\/em> release.
