Throw Me The Statue (1 Viewer)

[ronan]

Playing Whelans in a few weeks.
Their record 'Moonbeams' (on Secretly Canadian) is pretty much my favourite indie rock record of 2008.
It crept up on me slowly... when i heard it first i thought it was fairly run-of-the-mill Neutral Milk Hotel/Shins/Will Oldham territory, didn't see too much original about it.
But the melodies and lyrics completely made their way under my skin.
Now i completely love it.

Anyone else heard it?

It's on its way to me. Couldn't make the gig the other night though. Good? Loving the stuff on their myspace. The best song up there doesn't appear to be on the album though...

yes, the gig was pretty great. Hopefully they'll be by this way again soon and more people will go (really small crowd there on monday).

they were selling a single at the merch desk that had 4 songs not on the album. Its possible the some you refer to is on that.

Yeah the song 'Ship' is on the tour ep. It sounds more like a proper band rather than a singer-songwriter with added cool stuff; almost American Football or something.
