Hollerado [2009] Record in a Bag

sound: Indie Rock/Poolhall

Think a raspier Young the Giant [formerly the Jakes, try to keep up] a less whiny Hot Hot Heat or Tapes N' Tapes with a little less Interpol feel. To much name dropping, then let me tell you some cool stuff about this band. People told these bros it would never happen for them, so they decided to start their own label, name it Royal Mountain Records and with a little help from A&C.ca Record in a Bag was released for a second time like 5 days ago on vinyl.  SO TAKE THAT THE MAN, DIY lives!!!!! Of course, when you get it on vinyl it comes in a sweet black tote bag. Gonna pick one up this morning, also they have the coolest fucking website ever, its really art-sie and fun,  you've got to check it out. Try these guys on for size for sure.
BUY Record in a Bag, literally in a Bag.

Is Ok Go trading in their delightfully indie pop-rock feel for a more futuristic psychedelic-rock groove and Prince [as in the artist formerly known as] like vocal styling? Perhaps for once i will leave you to decide. Personally i found the record entertaining instead of the deafening drone of sickeningly catchy singles coming out of more popular indie acts right now. Tell me what you guys think, you diggin' it or are you not impressed by the new approach?
