\"StNothing2014-500\"<\/p>\n

I came upon St. Nothing<\/a><\/strong> while watching the live web feed of the most recent Boston Calling Festival<\/a><\/strong>. This Boston-based electro-pop trio won a SonicBids<\/a><\/strong> contest to perform at the festival. Now, anyone who has perused this blog will know that I’m not a huge fan of electro-pop — or at least, there isn’t a whole lot of it represented here. However, these amazing musicians completely blew me away. What makes them different (or maybe not, but it’s the first time I’d heard it done) is that they integrate lush live strings in with the beeps, boops and beats. What results is much warmer and more emotionally engaging than I’ve found electro-pop to be. This puts the humanity back into the music, and it’s hypnotic. For me, it’s the missing link.<\/p>\n
