from my library (cd)

Thought I had previously posted this but damn if I can find it. Would have thought it would score a little higher on the second go round, but
it's pretty low this time. Picked it up from someones end of year list for 2009. Critics loved it, I fell for it, end of story. Brooklyn band
formed in 2002, this is their third album. Too alternative for me I guess. Some jazz influences for sure. I might even call them todays
progressive-rock. I can't progress anymore, I'm too old, too much friction when progressing. The group gained attention when opening for
Radiohead in 2008. Followed the tour up with this highly acclaimed album whose title is inspired by an uninhabited island on Cape Cod that the
band had visited. An old Indian name.......woops, sorry, native american name. They had a follow up album in 2011 which I had no interest in,
based on this one. They must have received some name recognition afrom the Radiohead gig, as this album entered the chart at #8. Here's an
interesting fact, the album was also included in the 2011 edition of the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. Now I know I can go in
peace, knowing I have subjected myself to this.
