Chris Akanora Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 (edited) In a discussion on youtube about the late Technicolor Web of Sound, one contributor mentioned the "new 'old' songs"/"new classic rock" movement. I knew there had to be one. Point me in the right direction, I can't find a damn thing on Goggle. Edited May 26, 2013 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 I'm guessing this would be something of the White Stripes/Black Keys variety, where they go with a retro sound, often using retro equipment. Didn't know there was a name for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumboXL Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Seems like a sort of nostalgia to the years when many revolutionary albums came out and lots of experiments were tried out. A friend told me his son had remarked: " Wish I was born 40 years earlier, when all that thrilling music was made...", referring to the days when every album of Pink Floyd, Roxy Music, Yes, Bowie, Emerson Lake & Palmer and a few more brought new developments in Rock Music. Check out Jacco Gardner, for example, a much praised 25 year old artist with his early-Pink Floyd-Sid Barret sound: an example of "new old music?

TheLizard Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Didn't know there was a name for it. There isn't. If you're looking for one term to define every new band that sounds vaguely "retro", you're not going to find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
