Turbo Fruits - "Know Too Much"
I feel like my mouth is full of drum fills, my mind racing towards a drink, the smell of smoke. A song for, perhaps, near misses and old mistakes. [Site]
Virgin of the Birds - "You Haven't Talked to Tara"
Sounds like Destroyer at age 17. More nerves than flourish, more trepidation than flashing teeth. But the kind of potential in a mysterious polaroid, or a cool person's younger sibling. [Site]

Posted by Sean at June 15, 2007 3:22 PMJon Rooney's other band Morning Spy is worth checking out as well. I picked up The Silver Age from Keep last June: "Voices and Vigils" is a perfect summer song in the Galaxie 500 vein.
Posted by Gene at June 18, 2007 7:31 AM"how does one sound like destroyer, itself a pastiche of so many influences that stumbles into a unique voice?" i wondered. yet within seconds of hearing this the answer was obvious. it's an uncanny resemblance--and i'm not sure that's a good thing, because Mr. Virgin of the Birds is going to be hearing that readymade comparison a lot.
