Do you want to feel some feels and get your funky groove on? Lucky for you there's Iceland's Agent Fresco, because they've got the chops to get the job done in four minutes or less. Ready? Let's go!
"Wait For Me" is the latest single from Agent Fresco's impending new record Destrier, due out next week, and once again I'm enjoying it despite its being about as far from metal as it possibly could be. But something about "Wait For Me"'s combination of sparse instrumentation and production in the verses meets big electro-funk choruses tickles me in the the weird place that Agent Fresco seems to have this knack for finding.
Then you throw in the powerful vocal performance, the accompanying video, and the story behind said video (it's at the top of the comments, I won't get into it here) and you've got a recipe for those feels I was talking about. You'll want to play this one a couple of times, but there's just a little bit of melancholy in each play. Powerful stuff from Agent Fresco and Destrier.

Agent Fresco - Dark Water
Even though it's a holiday Monday in most of Canada today, it's still a Monday, and you know how Garfield feels about Mondays. But take heart, because I've got a really cool little song to show you today that should provide just the right distraction.
Iceland's Agent Fresco is a tough act to try and describe. They've got some pretty catchy material (like today's song) that at times can be the furthest thing from "heavy", but they've also got material (again, like today's song) that's got the kind of interesting grooves and chord progressions that permeate a bunch of different styles of metal and heavy music. I could spend all day trying to come up with the most succinct sub-sub-genre label for whatever it is that Agent Fresco do.
But forget that noise, who's got time to spend all day dreaming up some pithy descriptor that's going to be forgotten as soon as you hear Agent Fresco's most recent single "Dark Water"? Better for me to save my breath (so to speak...) and let the song's quirky beauty and energy speak for itself. I pretty much guarantee you'll listen to this one a couple of times back to back; it's that good.
