my apologies to the uglysuit

with all the crazy things that have been going on in grahamland lately, i’ve missed several important things. one being the release of the uglysuit’s self-titled album. available as of august 19th.
the album has a very happy, positive sound, that just makes you smile. it’s very reminiscent of jon brion’s score for eternal sunshine. a dreamlike lull, with an underlying current of “everything will work out in the end.”
this album comes highly recommended and will probably be in my top albums at the end of the year. i urge you to get it through whatever outlet you see fit. meaning of course that you pay for it seeing as how that’s how you support the artist.
you can hear several songs from the album here on their myspace.
