SXSW: The Guggenheim Grotto


Dublin songwriters The Guggenheim Grotto never stray far from folk music's most important piece of hardware—their acoustic guitars—but their latest album finds them delving into new territory with keyboards, sampling and electronic beats.

The opening and standout track “Fee Da Da Dee” completes its voluminous sound by way of electric guitar, keyboards and the graceful vocals of both musicians plus a female guest, but the basis of the song is its devastatingly seductive bassline. Listen to it with decent speakers, then do what I did next—find the biggest sound system you can, crank it up and listen with your chest.
