Margot & The Nuclear So and So's


Yes, it is that time of year again... Christmas is just around the corner and despite the stereotypical warm and joyous feelings the holidays should bring lets fact the facts, it can be a very depressing time of year for many.  Heck, even suicide rates are highest during the holiday season.  In my opinion the best form of therapy is MUSIC.  I believe that people are not only allowed, but entitled to have moments where they can socially withdraw themselves from reality and sulk in the midst of their anguish.  Margot & the Nuclear So and So's melancholy indie folk provides the perfect somber sound to aid our weathered spirits.  Their latest albums Daytrotter Session EP, Not Animal, and Animal despite their criticisms, to me all have the perfect balance of crafty lyrics and deep hooks that are mesmerizing and therapeutic.  So, if your feeling blue this holiday season I promise this band is not only mood appropriate, but could possibly and hypothetically fill the holes in your heart.  At least temporarily.
