STRINGS! WHISTLING! TOPICALITY!: Welcome back to KLT5M 109 FM. This post goes out to Jenn. with two Ns and a period in DC.
The New Pornographers (alternate Spaceboy name: New Proggers) have a new single, "The Crash Years," streaming on their Facebook page and available on iTunes. In my opinion, it kind of splits the distance between Electric Version and Challengers mood-wise and tempo-wise, and incorporates some of the "here-are-some-notes-right-at-the-end-of-Neko-Case's-range" shenanigans of Mass Romantic. Actually, it sounds to me like Carl Newman has been listening to his old Elephant 6 records. As you would expect, it's catchy indie pop.
good stuff. just wish i wasn't away when they swing through on tour.
ReplyDeletei'm looking forward to this upcoming album release, along with slow club, band of horses and the national. hmmm...i just realized that i've probably listed the upcoming bands for the final episodes of chuck as well...
Woo-hoo! Thanks for the present, Isaac! Just downloaded it. Also in Neko Case news: apparently she and Kelly Hogan have joined up with Jakob Dylan. I didn't need convincing to go ahead and get tickets for their upcoming tour stop at the 9:30 Club, but for those who do, the reviews out of SXSW are very promising.
ReplyDeleteSweet. I want to see them live, but I should probably not spend ALL of my money on concert tickets. Frightened Rabbit tickets were pretty cheap though...
