We get a lot of questionable CDs at the self-titled offices. But once in a while, a pleasant surprise slips into our promo stack. Here’s a recent delivery that knocked the s/t staff on its collective ass..
The Artist/Album: Desire, II (Italians Do It Better, 2009)
The Vibe: A moonlit, manic depressive foil to Glass Candy, the fulltime gig of producer/multi-instrumentalist Johnny Jewel.
RIYL: French Canadians with a story to tell; the dark side of the disco ball; driving until the sun comes up
