band to watch: International Waters


Dance is such a universal expression of passion, of emotion, of energy. But a lot of us just don't dig what passes for dance music these days. We'd much rather shake to jangly indie pop and sweatastic guitar snares at constant battle with delicately sentimental vocals. This is where a band like International Waters comes in. The Austin based band, which is fronted by Mitch Calvert (from Voxtrot) is currently working on releasing their first album. They unearth so much of what I wished high school prom would be--relentlessly fun yet intimate and dreamy. Let them be the soundtrack to your everyday movement and you'll quickly forget that you're not in uncomfortable semi-formal attire.
