If I had a choice of picking just two instruments to create the perfect song, I would choose the drums and the bass guitar. I’m partial to the drums, since I play the drums myself and would actually appreciate a song with just drum playing. That said, I’d love to hear a group that can pull off songs with just drums and vocals – could that really work?
Though I haven’t had the chance of making the perfect song – this band comes quite close. Enon’s “Knock That Door” chooses my recipe of drums and bass with a few sprinklings of keyboard sound effects for added flavour. Not only that, you get an added dose of sweet with Toko Yasuda’s Japenese inflected vocals. It works really, really well.
