You'll Be A Maze
I have a musical recommendation for the world on this beautiful blah Friday afternoon.
Who: The Marlboro Chorus
Where: Quad Cities, IL/IA
Why: They're fabulous at creating the sound of sunshine when the temperature has dropped 20 degrees below normal and the rain shows no sign of letting up.
I love these guys so much that I named their debut album Good Luck my album of the year in 2003. It's been a few months since I've conversed with them but at that point they were expecting an EP release this spring. I certainly hope so. In the meantime i'll offer up three songs that cover the gamut of their musical output thusfar...
Potters, Daisies from Good Luck
Song For L from Entangled EP
Youth Medium from Youth Medium
Wait just a second here, let's make it four songs. They were so kind as to record a cover for Excellent's Flirt! compilation a few years back: 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover. (the intro is actually Marc Maron doing a stand-up bit... please ignore)
If you like their sound I implore you hop on over to Parasol or Insound and pick up a CD or two.

i remember liking them. they were kind of familiar but good enough to get behind without naming names. ;-)
