Cul de Sac
One of the most unique groups of the last decade, Boston's Cul de Sac shapes a heady brand of experimental, (mostly) instrumental music derived from a broad palette of influences ranging from the ethno-eclecticism of avant-garde folk music to the groove-driven psychedelia of '70s Krautrock. Cul de Sac's extraordinary, perpetually evolving style is consistently thoughtful, engaging, and touching.
