4ad

future of the left are 2/3 (?) of the defunct mclusky and sound about 2/3 alike - the poppier 2/3s perhaps. i'm not sure i like them that much but there is something i like about them.

future of the left - manchasm (from last night I saved her from vampires)

the department of eagles are finally back after a long while - 2003? - and i suspect one of half of the band joining grizzly bear might have something to do with it. whitey on the moon was one of these albums that came out of the blue and i didn't really know what to make of it. it couldn't easily be classified - it was kinda like the avalanches but there were 'real' songs there too. so i just gave up and i decided i liked the album quite a bit. so the new one... well, all the 'fun' stuff has been stripped away and the album sounds pretty 'conventional'. good? bad? I'm sort of leaning towards wrong side of the mid point but perhaps I was just expecting something different? let's say its nice...

department of eagles - in ear park (from in ear park)
