((Sounder)) is a pair of California guys who do things in true DIY fashion: singer/guitarist Mike Aho recorded the album There Is Another Sun Clouded Over With Meticulous Care on his laptop. Sounds more like a 4-track to me. The record is all scuzzy acoustic guitars and not-quite yelpy vocals - think a rawer, looser Chad VanGaalen or Phil Elverum. Some of the songs are pretty esoteric, but never enough to detract from their innate tunefulness. Not exactly skate-punk, yet we have Volcom Entertainment to thank for the album's release. Parallel universe, maybe?

so, just to clarify, will the Critical Establishment respect any non-letter a band inserts in its name, or is it only parentheses?
Yeah, way to go Sounder! Figured out that putting random symbols in front of your name will cause it to appear at the top of people's libraries/iPods.
