On this episode of Fresh Tracks, our team of music aficionados bring you two examples of music for people with short attention spans.
The Dwarves: “Concept Album”
This album from The Dwarves covers 20 songs in 37 minutes. The first song is 33 seconds long.
If you haven't heard of The Dwarves, they're a group who spans the rock spectrum and has a bizarre reputation. They formed in the 1980s and are still going strong while doing everything they can to offend the music industry, including through very risqué album covers.
Liquid Mike: "S/T”
Liquid Mike's album "self-titled" or "S/T" features 11 power-pop-infused songs in 18 minutes. It's perfect short and dead-on TikTok music.
Chris Stapleton: “Higher”
Stapleton's song "South Dakota" is getting a lot of airplay right now, but it's not the first to mention our state. Bee Gees, Nanci Griffith, Afroman, Johnny Cash, Dwight Yoakam, Beatles, Big & Rich, and Red Hot Chili Peppers all mention South Dakota in their lyrics.
