Really Nice. I love discovering a new group debut like this. Even though it offically came out last August, it has not gotten enough press among the Power Pop media elite. Imagine a perfect melding of The Strokes and Travis with a bit of Rooney thrown in. Lots of killer melodies and gorgeous instrumentation and cool harmonies. Slender Means are a Seattle band that has a big clean sound that is a bit of power pop, a bit of glam and all rock n’ roll. Each song is catchy and lyrically brilliant – no weak tracks here, although some songs are a little similar sounding. Every year people are looking for a band in the Northwest that will be as big as The Shins. I think we have a winner here. Get this from emusic now. It is a great download!
Nice CD,thanks for the recommendation,have you tried The Vestals-Songs about girls and other mysteries,very good indeed and available on emusic,the first track is an absolute killer
