Frog Eyes

As some may have noticed I took last week off. Instead of excuses, excuses, excuses I'll just get back to the swing of things here. Some or all will probably be familiar with Frog Eyes. They of the incestuous relationship with other CanRock luminaries the Wolf Parade and Dan Bejar aka Destroyer. Their new LP Tears of the Valedictorian comes out May 1st on Absolute Kosher. The track listing:

1 Idle Songs
2 Caravan Breakers, They Prey on the Weak and the Old
3 "Stockades"
4 Reform the Countryside
5 The Policy Merchant, the Silver Bay
6 Evil Energy, the Ill Twin of...
7 ...Eagle Energy
8 Bushels
9 My Boats They Go

The band did a Daytrotter session last summer which you can hear and download here, including a early version of Bushels. Bushels is the perfect disjointed song for me right now.
