Favorite New Release of the Week - Feb. 26th, 2008
Mezzanine Owls - Mezzanine Owls
If you're a fan of the post-punk genre and eventual shoegazers that followed you'll love this record. The band exhibits just the right amount of the Jesus and Mary Chain, Doves, and Mercury Rev without having to worry about sounding like some cheap imitation.
Personally, the record has been a fitting play around my place with its various discussion of snow drifts and snow globes. The ground around here has been blanketed for some time now and it's beginning to feel like we're living in the aforementioned snow globe.
Regardless of my reasons for liking this record, I'm sure you'll find plenty too. That's because it's a solid rock record from top to bottom. As I said above, the Owls are one of those bands that remind you of other bands you love but who also bring something completely unique to the table. You can pick up the digital EP on iTUNES, AMAZON (MP3s), MTracks, Rhapsody and probably ever other digital music retailer. Here is "Snow Globe" for your listening pleasure.
