Finally! I've been waiting for an album to hit me like this all year!
A friend of mine uploaded this album to a music listserv that I belong to while I was right in the middle of the bar exam. So, unfortunately, it passed by me without a listen. It wasn't until this past weekend after a long night at The Must ($3 Milwaukee's Best = new favorite downtown bar) that I actually got a chance to hear the album.
It's been a really long time since I've come across a song that I could not stop listening to. I honestly can't remember the last time I had a song on repeat like I currently have this track. Just stop what you're doing -- well, don't stop reading this -- and download this song and then go and find the album. One of my top 3 albums of the year so far. The only reason its not my #1 is because Animal Collective and Grizzly Bear have put out game-changing albums this year. And as amazing as those albums are, I have a feeling this one might get more spins on my iPhone over the next few months.
Sure, there's plenty of back story for this LA band. Lead singer of Ima Robot, Heath Ledger ties, huge LA following, big-ass "Broken Social Scene"-esque band. But whatever, just do yourself a favor and get on the bus.

The band will be playing the El Rey on Sept 22, but as big as these guys are in LA I'm sure its sold out. Give 'er a try anyways, I hear their live show is epic (12 people, lotsa drums). No Austin dates yet. Surely they'll be at SXSW though.
**EDIT: I couldn't just leave it at one song, this is a very very solid album, so I want to give you a little more of a taste.
