Ignorance is bliss

The Ignorance is a Fair Oaks band that doesn't want to be bothered with sticking to one kind of sound. Check out their song, "A Door," which is this week’s "Sunday Single." It’s a track with traces of 1990s alternative-rock, plus horns, bongo drums and lots of freak-out vocals.

THE IGNORANCE
Song: "A Door"
Members: Kyle Graber (vocals/guitar), David Lindsay (drums), Jeff Florence (bass)
Style: A kitchen-sink approach to alternative-rock
Influences: The Pixies, Tom Waits, Violent Femmes, the Beatles
Behind the song: "'A Door' is a song about introspection and fusion between a man and the painting 'The Burning Giraffe' by Salvador Dali," says Graber. "We don't exactly go for one overall sound. We try to pull from all the different sounds we listen to and write music that keeps us constantly revolving but that somehow has an overall 'The Ignorance' feel. We cover mostly rock 'n' roll, psychedelia, punk and blues with touches of many other styles."
