13 Bands You Didn't Realise Were One Album Wonders

9. The Unicorns

These guys are the original bronies. While they did have another album that was self-recorded prior, Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone? was The Unicorns only album produced by a record label. And look, I'm gonna frank, I love this band, they€™re warm and fuzzy; just lo-fi in the most perfect way. They make music that is constantly changing, sometimes even mid-way through a ninety second track. They€™ll take three different hooks and crash them together like tectonic plates just to see what the end result will be. Normally it€™s something utterly insane as proven by the track Jellybones which could be easily mistaken for something from Animal Collective. The Unicorns have a sound that€™s jittery and full of broken beats that sound like they were built in an old calculator. It€™s a sugary sounding music, almost saccharine, but what else can you expect from a band named after a mythical horse. Friendship is magic people, and this album is damn friendly.

Sometime Brummie with a love for tea, tequila and football teams that don't win a lot of games. Still don't really understand apostrophes.
