Being *ahem* between jobs has been great for my music collection. Combine lots of free time with brand spanking new broadband and you come across all sorts of exciting bits and bobs.
Today I have discovered a new track from Minus the Bear. Dr L'ling is the first song to appear off their new album, Planet of Ice, due for release some time in August I believe. Now, up to recently I was not, shall we say, au fait with 'the Bear' but I must say this song is rather good. Compared to what I've heard of their earlier stuff (Menos El Oso) it's pretty epic and reminds me weirdly of Cave In in places. Who I've never been a big fan of... but this I like.... now I'm confused. Minus The Bear are doing about a million and one dates in the US, check them out here. I guess us Brits just have to wait our turn, eh?
Anyhoo. Another song I'm enjoying at the moment is a track off the first Clap Your Hands Say Yeah album. I think their 'current' lp was out in January (Some Loud Thunder) but it's Over & Over Again (Lost & Found) that made me want to check the band out. The repetitive guitar 'riff' (if you can call it that!) just got stuck in my head, plus I've always had a penchant for blokes with weird voices. And it contains the line "You look like David Bowie" so what's not to love?!::mp3:: Dr L'ling - Minus The Bear
::mp3:: Hooray - Minus The Bear
::mp3:: Over & Over Again - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
