Geography plays a funny trick on the brain when listening to new music, especially when that new music is an unsigned band with a self-recorded EP. Suppose someone told you the Harlem Shakes were from, say, Albuquerque and they employed good use of that "Albuquerque keyboard sound." Now you probably never heard of a keyboard sound from Albuquerque, but you may find yourself knowingly nodding anyway, and you have instant (albeit false) familiarity with this brand new group. Well, the Harlem Shakes aren't from Albuquerque, they're from (surprise!) New York, a city that rouses about a gazillion times more presumptions about its bands than nearly anywhere else on Earth.
