With each advance single, I think Iceage might be making a huge post-punk move into album-of-the-year territory with their upcoming third LP. (Never mind that I say the same thing with each advance You're Dead! track by FlyLo.) Absolutely cannot stop listening to "The Lord's Favorite" (or watching the video, for the matter), and even the nonsensical ESL chorus is permanently lodged in my head. ("One-hundred Euro wine. I do believe in heaven and I do believe it's time.") Kids are way too young to be this talented. Nevermind that Iceage, after two albums of blistering punk ("White Rune" and "Morals" are, plainly said, really fucking awesome), feel right at home with a sort of rockabilly hoedown fronted by a slurred-voice Dane.

Also always nice to hear some new Juan Maclean. It's been forever since their last album and "Happy House." Even longer since Less Than Human and "Give Me Every Little Thing."

Requisite DFA track since, good god, the album isn't terrible but, good god x 2, actually good.
