But I have yet to actually hear them myself. I don't think Larryville hipsters have caught on to them yet, but I'll start spreading the word that Capt.

The album in question is called "Odd Blood," by Yeasayer and is the second effort from this "Brooklyn" trio (sometimes quartet), who toured with- and now exist on the coattails of- the likes of MGMT (they're actually from Baltimore, this is almost acceptable behavior on my part). To boot, Entertainment Weekly reviewed this effort as a gentle mixture of some personal faves: The Cure, Duran Duran (this actually sold me) and some other shit. In the songs, "Ambling Alp" and "Madder Red," we can hear these influences shining through, for sure. It is a mildly delectable musical treat to be enjoyed while sipping PBR, actively pursuing hipster pussy or just sitting at home imaging doing the aforementioned. In sum, I am embarrassed that I gave in to the hipster elitism of current music; although, all the things I profess to hate about it actually intrigue me, like pussy and PBR. Even lamer, this moment of self-reflection is being written with the album playing in the background. Fucking sell-out. Whatever, maybe I'll be a better foreign correspondent from here out.Capt.
