They Broke Up :(

Sorry to say, they broke up at the end of 06. I found their music to be truly unique but always felt there wasn't nearly enough of it and the tracks were too short for full satisfaction. Alas.

Rough cuts, brilliant band

I once met a guy who was talking up the Smiths in the record store one day. I asked he was seeing the Organ that weekend, and he reponded "$!^# yah, their more Smiths than the Smiths." Along with a warm droning organ (the home sized sit down kind my aunt learned on, maybe yours too) there's non-chalant meloncholy vocals, a solid rhtyhm section and floating guitar lines delivering pure pop bliss. One note. These seem to be rough demo cuts. Most of these appear on Grab that Gun with far superior sound and production.

Damn!

I have ben into old school stuff like Joy Division and bauhaus and all that since I was a young teenager. When Interpol came around and brought the sound back, I was hesitant. So hesitant, in fact, I am still getting used to the idea. But then there is this band, purely revivalists (like Interpol) they do interject a slight Philip Glass influence which pays off amazingly. This EP is worth the download and their album is worth the purchase. Trust me.

They Say All Media Guide

The Canadian girl group the Organ pull romance from ’80s new wave and ’90s Brit-pop for a polished post-grunge sound. Not playing off comparisons to the Cure and the Smiths, vocalist Katie Sketch and her band compose the usual rhymes of heartbreak, loneliness, and melancholy. In order to set themselves apart from the new-millennium posh crowd of New York City bands, the Organ craft such darkness into a lush, modern style that’s strict and almost succinct. The Sinking Hearts EP shines bright in the midst of despair, particularly on the dreamy soundscape of “We’ve Got to Meet.” Soft electronic beats are playfully woven around Jenny Smyth’s Hammond organ on the jaunty “I Am Not Surprised,” while warm bass rhythms slowly dance on “It’s Time to Go.” The Organ obviously look back at what once was, taking only the gorgeous bits of post-punk and making them their own. The Sinking Hearts EP is a glorious introduction, but such a glimpse into the Organ’s art-pop world simply isn’t enough. – MacKenzie Wilson
