At lunch today, I burned my tongue on my soup (damn you, Hale and Hearty!), and was in a grumpy mood because of it. Thankfully, there are plenty of great new album releases this time of year, and one that I am especially excited about has been improving my post-lunch & tongue injury mood exponentially. It has been almost a year since I first wrote about Brooklyn's own Via Audio, and now they have finally released their full-length debut say something... which was produced by Jim Eno of Spoon and is a great potpourri of indie rock musical stylings.
MOKB recently had the band on his Sirius Satellite radio show, and you can check out some live mp3s from that over here.
You can watch the video for Presents, which was recently pimped over on Stereogum, right here, AND they were featured in NYLON! Hooray!!!
