Emeralds



















There are two bands called "Emeralds" from the state of Ohio alone. The first, if you dare to listen, list AC/DC and Cheap Trick as top MySpace friends. The other Emeralds, more down my alley, are a synth and guitar trio who have released more than 40 LP's, cassettes, CD-R's, and CD's in only four years. This year's What Happened falls somewhere between the realms of Popol Vuh, Beaches & Canyons-era Black Dice, and Growing; that means it's melodic, drony, weird, and really beautiful.
