Biography
Expansive, textured, modern and fresh,
Condo combines Ryan McNeil's ethereal
guitar work with Mary Ann Paredes's melodic
keyboards and the powerful rhythm unit
comprised of Dan Falt (bass) and Patrick
Paredes (drums). James Roe, a U.K. import,
provides a context for the music with his
keenly observed tales of the darker temptations
of big-city life. Condo, which harbors at
least two recent indie-rock cliches -- a
brother and a sister and a husband and wife
-- channels the cool glare of Bauhaus and
the Fall with the playfulness of Siouxsie and
the Banshees.
Best of Luck, the band's third album, was
released Oct. 14, 2008, on Rock Park Records.
The CD was produced by Elliot Blakey
in Atlanta and was recorded at The Seaside
Lounge Studios in Brooklyn, N.Y.
This album is getting excellent college airplay, and was featured on BBC Music 6 by legendary DJ Steve Lamacq! Airplay and top 25s at WHRW, WUNH, KCWV,KFSR, and more on the way!
