Being from Illinois and college at U of I in Champaign-Urbana this band was and still is one my favorites. They dropped a new album yesterday and its fantastic!
It doesnt hit as hard as You'd Prefer An Astronaut or Electra did. This sound is more older like much to the same of their last album; Downward is heavenward.
Awesome. Been one of my favorites for a long while. Surprised it didn't pop up for me since I just listened to You'd Prefer and Astronaut like two weeks ago. I always put them in the same Ken Andrews / Failure boat, and Blinker the Star, as well as some others. Phantom Planet released a new album recently too but I didn't like it quite as much as their old stuff.
