The Cubists not only pay homage to cubism with their name, they actually take a cubist approach to psychedelic pop. Each of the five members of the Augusta, Ga., band brings something unique to the mix; the death of songwriter Noel Brown’s father, for instance, provided much of Brown’s personal musical inspiration. Their full-length debut, Mechanical Advantage, just came out this month on Georgia-based label Semi-Precious. “She’s Got Blood” is less experimental than what most of Mechanical Advantage has to offer, but it still shows off what makes the Cubists unique: the ability to create catchy songs that are both sonically rich and easily accessible.
