Music I'm excited about...

New music I'm super excited about...

Tallahassee's own Look Mexico has picked up a new member and released a short, but amazing ep, Gasp Asp. You can pick it up here.

The disk marks a significant change in the quality of the production. The sound is now a lot fuller, and fills the space quite nicely. The addition of a fifth musician has not in any way detracted from what I feel to be the bands most endearing quality - and that is to weave different musical ideas together into one cohesive piece. If this is any indication of where the band is going I am even more excited about their future than before. Did I mention Justin used to be roommates with one of the founding members? Or that I've played with this band a couple of times? Or that they are successful in music and I am not? Oh, well.

They are also coming out with a 7" split with Fake Problems called Under the Influence. You can check out the song on their MySpace. It may sound a bit familiar...

Just as exciting is the upcoming release from Anathallo, Canopy Glow. Anathallo has been one of my favorite bands since I saw them live at Big Daddy's way back in my freshman year (six years ago now!) This album is sure to be amazing. November 18th, 2008! Seriously, YouTube this band right now. Do it. Watch: A Holiday at the Sea. Be blown away.
