I always love it when bands send me stuff to listen to. Alex from Parlovr recently sent me a few of his bands material. I was grabbed immediately by their sound, quality, and craftsmanship. After hearing all the songs they sent me, I am going to buy their independently releases self titled album. I highly recommend this for anyone who loves where modern rock is going. There are elements of noise, fast/furious drumming, and melodic lyrics. And according to their myspace, they only use a k-mart guitar, a bad drumset, and a keyboard that has a mind of it's own. Remind me a lot of Arcade Fire on their song "All The Wold Is All That Is The Case". Their hit song it seems would be "Pen To The Paper", I really like the repetitive lyrics. I always enjoy new directions in songwriting. In a day of a myriad of bands, its ironic that it gets frustrating or just seems impossible to find a new sound or band to remind you just how great music can be, this is it.

ah yes this shit is good. Very Wolf Parade.
where's the link?
The album cover art looks like Sara Guindon's work. Love her. I have a few of her illustrations. I just came across your blog in a search for The Avett Brothers. A nice blog you have here. I was checking out some older posts and noticed a jogging playlist posted by Dusty in July 2008. I would love it if this became a monthly, if not weekly, segment featuring a playlist of your current jogging music. I'm always on the lookout for a good mix of music to jog to.
I agree with the Wolf parade comparison. This is very good record and I'm enjoying it immensely.
