Way back in 2003, back when The Postal Service were as indie as i got, two of my current (2008 current) favorite indie musicians got together and formed what I'm calling a 'Super-Duo' called Hymie's Basement. Andrew Broder of Fog, and Yoni Wolf of Why?. I didn't realize until recently that Andy Broder was one half of this group. I must not have been listening closely. Their styles compliment each other perfectly, and I think they actually do have pretty similar voices (which would explain why I thought it was just Yoni). The music is pretty somber in tone, which isn't a great departure for either musician, but it's also more minimal than Fog or Why?. I tend to like Why's music more than Fog's, but I feel like the music on this album leans more to the Fog side of the coin. It also seems like Yoni is handling most of the vocals. I really love it when they sing together, because their voices blend like two singers that have possibly been rubbing off on each other.
Here is the full album of Hymie's Basement, download before it gets taken down:
