Get over yourself.
I first heard singer Maggie Morrison in the late, lamented Minneapolis band Digitata. (Well, they maybe broke up? This July interview with Digitata drummer Drew Christopher makes it unclear. But it's funny.) Morrison's new band Lookbook keeps some of Digitata's essential elements: bloops, bleeps, synthdrama.
Lookbook - Yesterday's Company.
This track comes from Lookbook's first full-length, Wild At Heart. It's a good record, and as much as I love Digitata, it's interesting to hear Morrison front a band more interested in keeping things on steady ground. (Digitata simply isn't designed for that, in my opinion, which is one reason I love them so much.) Wild At Heart comes after the band's well-received I Fear You My Darkness EP last year, and it bodes well for the future. I hope Digitata sticks around, but in the meantime, Morrison's new project has my attention.
You can get Lookbook's Wild At Heart as a pay-what-you-want download from Listening Party Records (where you can also pre-order the fancy vinyl version).
