from the bowels of baroque pop

sometimes i think that hope is gone for good, new slowcore. i often wonder if i'll be left with the catalogues of belle & sebastian to keep me warm in the winter. however...

i've been listening to the Pernice Brothers (thank the god that NPR finally spotted them or i probably would have kept this secret to myself) since i found out about the similarity of their sound to the zombies. in addition to that purchase of the crane wife you are already supposed to have, i highly suggest you find "Zero Refills" or "Automaton" somewhere on the internets (preferably you should just buy the latest, Live a Little) and listen. no, no. really LISTEN. it's so good and pleasant and you'll swear it's colin blunstone breathing whispers into that mic.

if you are into the likes of the apples in stereo or mr. bacharach (which i know you are), you'll really like these kids.

well done.

note to self: talk more about those gems you're keeping to yourself.
note to readers: if you haven't gotten the newest YLT album, you're really missing out.
