My Sub Pop sugarpop, Sloshy, sent me a preview of this CD a while back and I'm just getting around to giving it some undivided attention.

Excellent album from start to finish, with the exception (IMO) of 10:1 when they get fuzzy and use a vocorder. I just find the song annoys me. (** Indicate my fave tracks, but they are all growers.)

1. Bird on a Wire **
2. Publish My Love - (Sounds a lot like Flaming Lips)
3. Salesman at the Day of the Parade
4. Catform
5. Love's Lost Guarantee
6. 10:1
7. California **
8. Are You on My Side **
9. Medicine Ball
10. You
11. Temporary

It has the indie-pop sound that I've come to expect from Sub Pop artists. My best guess for RIYL (recommended if you like) is Flaming Lips and Decemberists.

If you're interested in hearing samples check out their homepage here:

or watch Craig Ferguson on January 19th to see them perform.

Thanks, Sloshy! You were right!
