One of the perks of having gone to Fordham University at Lincoln Center is that I got to be around some extraordinarily talented people. Every so often, I even got to meet some extraordinarily talented people who are also very nice people. The members of Ann Courtney and the Late Bloomers are both. I’ve been able to follow them from a distance in the years since we all graduated, and am v
ery excited for their April 2009 release, Crocodile. I’m even more excited now that I’ve gotten to hear a couple of songs off the record.
I’ve listened to Fading Bruise (click to play) about a dozen times now, and it just keeps begging to be replayed. It’s crisp and catchy with tight songwriting. I can’t wait to get my ears on the full length LP. The other song I’ve heard from the album, I Keep a Pilot Light, is just as tight and exuberantly wild, with a deliciously dirty guitar arrangement. If these two songs are any indication, this album is going to be in heavy rotation on my iPod when it comes out.
Give it a listen, click below to read more about them and buy the album directly from their label.
