Run!

Oh man. One of those weeks, you know? I meant to post this on Monday, and here we are on Friday... oh well. It happens.
Pale Young Gentlemen - The Crook Of My Good Arm.
Pale Young Gentlemen hail from Madison, Wisconsin. I really like their new record, Black Forest (Tra La La), which came out on Oct. 7. It's part rock, part folk, part Eastern European darkness. It's also strikingly creative, if that's not too vague a term. I love bands who find interesting ways to make tight, focused music, and with their arsenal of string instruments, Pale Young Gentlemen have done just that.
You can see the band live tomorrow night in Burlington, VT, next week at the Middle East in Cambridge, and a whole bunch of other cities in the near future. (Fellow Twin Citians, go see them at the Nomad on Nov. 21.)
You can, and should, buy Black Forest (Tra La La) from the band's label, Science of Sound.
