Brooklyn trio These Are Powers has certainly changed a lot over the years. While the band was once known for angular guitar squall and dense post-punk percussion, “Anything Above Nothing” finds them adeptly combining a galloping, almost tribal drum beat with catchy R&B melodies. And frontwoman Anna Barrie’s singing… it’s actually, like, sweet and pleasant, albeit with just enough sass to keep things interesting. With percussionist Bill Salas (a.k.a. XLR8R fave Brenmar) taking a greater role in the group’s production and recording, we’re excited to see where These Are Powers’ new direction leads. However, we’ll probably have to wait until later in the summer to hear more, as the trio is about to embark on a European tour for most of July. Peep the dates at the band’s myspace page.
