That does sound pretty damn good. Their last album was a bit of a mis-step but this gives me some hope that they weren't a one-album pony. They also did a cover of Nirvana's Lithium
It was a CD I picked up today at a non-chain music store. It lists this website on the back, which seems to be album and band news, but they're still just saying "2007."
My initial excitement about their debut CD has faded over time, mainly as a result of seeing them play live a couple times and being blown away. After hearing those wonderful voluminous arrangements in person, the stuff on the record sounds a bit watered down in comparison.
I hope they can capture some of that sonorous weightiness on the new album.
