The Dust Of Retreat arrived in my mailbox yesterday, and I've listened to it in its entirety (including the marching band drum solo) at least a dozen times. Sometimes emo. Sometimes rock. Margot & the Nuclear So & So's are a brilliant pop ensemble.
The lyrics are omnifarious. The music is packed with sound--the aforementioned drums, jazz trumpets, cellos, piano...
Occasionally, the acoustic guitar takes over, as in "Jen Is Bringing The Drugs", and we are treated to a folk song.
Or a round of meows!
RIYL: Okkervil River. Chin Up Chin Up. Colin Meloy.
The mp3s are of lower quality than those on the album and are provided as a sample of the music on The Dust Of Retreat. Please buy the record! It's only $9 and you'll love it!
