Not really a band, but CLLCT is a "family of artists who help each other out whenever they can, and who make music because they love to make music... there are plenty of other places where one can get music, legally or illegally. But the Collective prides itself on having a roster of exceptional artists that are new and interesting; that way you don't have to wade through a hundred bad songs to find one you like". So basically, it's a website where artists put up their music for free download. Now, I know that sounds wonderful, but you're not going to be finding Jay-Z's latest album on there or something; it's stuff you've probably never heard of. But it's nice to listen to, nonetheless.

I went in and at first kinda gave up looking, since I highly disliked what I heard. But then I found this: Like a Villain Holland Andrews, a simple, yet strange girl(In my opinion) that currently lives in Portland, Oregon. In 2008 she began a solo project, which is her current, and sole, album. In my opinion this is really good. Not only does she use her skill with the wood instruments-the alto sax and the Clarinet-to convey a relaxing sound, she also has a great harmonizing ability. Her voice is very peculiar, and also very experienced, since she can harmonize in a complete way to create a haunting and eerie, yet beautiful sound. Aside from that, the mixing is remarkable, when you put your headphones on, you'll hear how the strange sounding harmonies can be heard from left to right to create an explosion of sound. The only downside is that the songs in themselves aren't that long. There's also some variety lacking in the harmonizing, which I'm hoping is expanded upon her next release. We get a lot of haunting sounds, but very little cheery sounds in her works. I'd love to hear more of that. One thing I do like is that she released a whole album, and not just a small amount of songs. I skimmed through cllct, and saw that most artists have more than one album, yet they only contain a few songs. Still, I checked last.fm, and it had more songs that cllct didn't have. I'm still confused about all that. Overall, this is a strange mixture. If you're too accustomed to pop songs and clean songs, then this might not be for you. But it's definitely worth the check. Here's the Official Art Made Unofficial Album art, just for the sake of having a good picture in my iPod. While it's nothing out of this world, it serves the purpose. I do not own the picture, nor the texture used, which Sanami276, from deviant deserves credit for. The unofficial art is only for personal use.
