During my first semester at Oberlin, I had a radio show called "Pop is Bliss" at the ungainly hour of 3 a.m. I feel as though Marching Band's August 5th release, Spark Large, is here to remind me why I named the show. Oftentimes indie pop edges on the border of being overly trite, and the band never quite crosses it - in part due to the distraction of great melodies and instrumentation. The album's great, kids! Marching Band - Letters
On a personal note, I am so wonderfully distracted from blogging, having traded in my Epiphone Les Paul today for a beautiful Ibanez electric-acoustic. Just two more weeks of summer for me!
Buy a band's T-shirt, support a charity.
Included in the project: Rilo Kiley, the Shins, Devendra Banhart, Stars, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, and others.
I owe a big thank you to my Oberlin buddy Harris for some of the coding and for file-hosting (*hearts Harris*); you can hire him to build your website just because he's that awesome.
Ahhh -- I *love* Marching Band and cannot believe they finally have new material !! :)
