New Mates of State! “Get Better”
April 21, 2008
Mates of State is just about the best thing ever, just putting that out there. The band debuted their new single today, “Get Better” in video form and I think it’s easily one of best things the band’s ever done. The band hasn’t abandoned it’s core sound of keys, drums and wonderful harmonies but they are definitely continuing to expand their sonic boundaries with absolutely gorgeous use of strings and layered vocals. The sing-a-long build-up at the end of this song is absolutely euphoric. Holy flip, I love this band.
“Get Better” audio is below (low quality for now, sorry) and you can head over to youtube to watch the ultra-cute video (which may or may not be a sequel to that Bat for Lashes video from last year). Also, Is it just me or does Jason look a whole lot like Buddy Holly in that picture? Re-Arrange Us is out on May 20. Check here for more info.

I could not agree more with the Mates of State being the best thing ever. I am so excited about another album coming out, and soon too!

Wow that video is so great! I feel Mates of State just gets better and better. I just saw them play at Newbury Comics on Saturday and their new songs sounded really wonderful- a lot to look forward to!
