Man I have had a great week on the music front.. First I got advance copies of the new St. Vincent, and Camera Obscura Records both which are devine, and yesterday after a long day of work I got home to see a package from the great white north of Minneapolis, from Afternoon Records.. It was my copy of the new ONE FOR THE TEAM ep "Build a Garden." The band only made 500 physical copies of this one and I got number 3 of 500 which makes me think Elliot got the shaft, since I'm assuming Ian and Grace took number 1 and 2! Take that Elliot..
Anyway the Ep is pretty fucking awesome, its a much more organic, mature, and laid back sound for the band and the perfect follow up to last years "Build It Up" album which found its way into my top ten of 2008! The new ep was recorded in the bands Twin Cities apartment and feels like a couple sitting on a couch singing pop songs to each other! Gone is the multi-tracked vocals of their album and present is 2 strong voices that can hold there own with out any fancy production. Not that I don't love fancy production its just that this ep came as suprise to me and shows that the band is perfectly capable of making something magical in the comfort of thier own home! Well Done Teamers! Now the Twins didn't win opening night but your new ep did!
Go listen to some songs here and get the ep as well..
