My other favorite band who happens to be from Seattle, releasing their own brand
spankin’ new album today.

Their 7th studio album in their illustrious 23-year career.

The Jon Auer / Ken Stringfellow tandem is has sharp as ever.

The one-two punch of “So Caroline” and “Take Care Of Yourself” is worth the
price of admission alone.

On this new galette of guitar pop, you will find the gorgeous harmonies/melodies they are known for but also switching gears and going on a more eclectic, experimental tip.

“This record has more of a ‘Science Fiction’ sound to it, if you will, more buzzes and
electronic bells and whistles percolating throughout,” says Auer. “We wanted to keep
everyone’s eardrums guessing with this, always on alert for the next left-of-center
waveform.”

Something else they haven’t done before for an album, welcoming guest musicians in the recording process.

Broken Social Scene’s Lisa Lobsinger appears on the first single, the Stringfellow penned “Licenses To Hide”. The Strangler’s Hugh Crownwell shows up on “Plastic Paperbacks” and Letters To Cleo’s Kay Hanley appears on “The Glitter Prize”.

“Blood/Candy” already cracked my top 3 album list for 2010. I would think most
of my fellow Power Pop lovers would place it has high on their lists aswell.
