Cannons

Cannons is a Los Angeles trio whose music has been arcing from synth pop towards disco recently. The electronic and synth based backbone of the band is usually pretty mellow and patient, playing on top of a steady, machine-like beat, as the guitar generally provides texture and melodic phrases that add to the overall mood. Their songs usually vary between uptempo dance-oriented electronic pop and wistful mid-tempo pieces as vocalist Michelle Joy's hazy and soft focus voice delivery remains fairly restrained. The net effect is music that sounds club chilled as opposed to dance floor heated. Their music feels more lyrical than melodic, frequently reaching for an emotional resonance amidst the calm they project.
