Wolf Parade - You Are A Runner And I Am My Father’s Son
I heard Henry Rollins talk about doing a song with William Shatner on his dvd Shock and Awe. “I think if you put to drum and rant things on one record it will be kind of lop sided. Well that’s the record with 2 drum and rant things on there, it rolls like an egg.”
I LOVED that phrase. Rolls like an egg. Then I heard this song and thought the beat sounded lopsided. Egg Rock became my favorite new description. Modest Mouse - Satin in a Coffin and Bury Me With It, the beginning of The Academy Is… - We’ve Got a Big Mess on Our Hands are other examples of “egg rock”.
