Austin TV just finished their opening set on the Coachella Stage, and even though the group is from Mexico City, you don’t have to speak the language to appreciate the music, since most of it is sans lyrics.
The band’s Wikipedia entry describes Austin TV as a “post-rock/indie rock band.”
I don’t know that I like post-rock/indie rock music, but I did like them. It was slightly ethereal and haunting, but not disjointed!
It’s like a soundtrack for a dream!
From Austin TV’s Web site about why their music doesn’t have lyrics (I’ve cleaned it up a little bit. The schoolmarm in my head was most insistent):
“It’s because we want to express with the music what words can´t say.
“When we met, we started composing one song and another and we made several songs without thinking if we would have vocals or not, but at the end of the day, we decided that we would rather have the music without voice, and it became a goal for us to make music that doesn´t need vocals.”
