Hey everyone,
The new EP is almost wrapped up and ready for release, stay tuned for more on that in the next few weeks! It’s sounding great and we can’t wait to get out to you.
In other news, I figured I’d update you on what I’ve been listening to recently. It’s been a while since I’ve done some CD reviews, so I have a few things to say.
Codes and Keys-Death Cab for Cutie
I am not (like VB) an avid listener of this band or their older music. I have some of the CDs, but I didn’t really listen until this CD came out. I needed a new album, and they gave it to me. I started to like this one from the very first listen. “Stay Young, Go Dancing” is one of my favorite songs of the year. There are other tracks on the CD that will get to you, no matter what kind of music you like. I now have a deeper appreciation of Ben Gibbard and his talents. To me, this album is enjoyable, musically tasteful, and just cool!
Modern Love-Matt Nathanson
After seeing this guy multiple times in a year and enjoying it, I was anxiously awaiting this release. Sadly, it really doesn’t do too much for me. The lead single “Faster” is catchy if you take yourself back to high school and get over the silly lyrics. I’m not the biggest fan of this album, but I do like “Bottom of the Sea”, where Matt takes on an organic and simple sound, with a cool song structure and piano part. Also, the more reserved vocal on “Kept” is nice, as is “Kiss Quick”.
Get ready for our EP soon!
