New and extremely awesome Eagle*Seagull tracks!

April 20, 2007

Eagle*Seagull released a fantastic yet under-appreciated self-titled album in 2005 and although I didn’t think it was really possibly, they’ve actually gotten better since then.  The new tracks (which You Ain’t No Picasso graciously shared a couple days ago) are moving even more strongly in the direction of Wolf Parade, but a more immediate string-laden version of the band.

If all the songs on the new album are as strong as “The Boy With A Serpent Heart” and “I Don’t Know If People Have Hated Me, But I Have Hated People”, then there’s no reason why Eagle*Seagull couldn’t have the same kind of DIY-success as Clap Your Hands Say Yeah did a couple years ago.  In particular, “…I Have Hated People”  has one of the most spectucular and intense instrumental bridges I’ve heard in a long time with pounding piano, a killer guitar riff, topped off with an extraordinary strings attack.  I’m sooo excited for their new album.
