Throw Me The Statue - Moonbeams [CD]

This Seattle band's debut is a wondrous concoction of fuzzed out synths, brass ensembles, and epic vocal melodies. At the album's core is a sharp sense of melody, a cutting lyrical honesty and a bludgeoning beat that brings to mind the whimsy of Magnetic Fields, the lyrical expanse of the Microphones, and the lo-fi bliss of Eric's Trip.
