“Monday, Monday,” cried The Mamas & The Papas, mournfully. Yes they did. Alas, the very beginning of the week is here and it is weighing rather heavily on this writer because I just want to go home! But I can’t and thusly I need comfort. I gave Spektor">Regina Spektor’s  What We Saw From The Cheap Seats  a gander but found myself disengaged. I thought about a little James Blake or King Krule but I’ve settle into the warm sand that is Panda Bear and his lovely lady friend,  Tomboy . It was a rather well-made choice if I ...

The band - Extra Life , a Brooklyn collective with connections to Yukon, Zs and Dirty Projectors. That said, nothing is easy here, and I can't say this will stay with me forever, or even for long. There are elements of Xiu Xiu, Neutral Milk Hotel, VAST, Collective">Animal Collective and indeed Dirty Projectors in this acrobatic, verbose, bombastic melange, and some of it comes off as pompous and flowery as it does eloquent and haunting. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the audaciousness of Charlie ...
