Titus Andronicus - "The Airing of Grievances" This band is generating a lot of hype right now. I hope they don't go 'Vampire Weekend' on everyone. This album took a little while for me to settle into, but it's well worth it. The band's from Glen Rock, NJ which is about 10 miles from where I live. I don't know them personally (mash?), but my ex-girlfriend mentioned something about knowing a kid who used to be in the band. Fuck yeah! VIP Motherfuckers! VIP!
I really like the shoegaze influence here, and the music has an uplifting quality of turning the knife that you stuck into the back of every regret you've ever been forced to feel. You literally want to sing every song at the top of your lungs. The recording has a rough texture to it, which I think makes it a more genuine sound. I hear that they put on one hell of a live show so pick up this album and join me at this show at the Music Hall of Williamsburg (Brooklyn, NY) for a good ol' fashioned drunken singalong (Health is headlining!).
