Idolator
The L.A. band Army/Navy were pitched to us as a "new indie pop gem," and if there's one phrase that will get me clicking on the MP3s in my e-mail, it's that one. (Publicists, take note.) "Saints," which we've posted below, is a shimmery bit of jangle that sounds like the offspring of distorto-pop heroes Teenage Fanclub and Tiger Trap (the harmonies on the chorus make my knees weak); if you're into that, you should definitely check out "My Thin Sides," which is on their MySpace page and which sounds like a lost Orange Juice track that's had about 50 layers of distortion added to it. Seriously, I could listen to songs like this from now until the end of time:
Army/Navy - Saints [MP3]
Army/Navy [MySpace]

The mp3 link isn't working...
@chadnfrood: And after all that buildup I gave it! I'm fixing it now. Oy.
Just updated the post, but this link should work.
@maura: Thanks!
Could that write-up have hit any more of the right words to grab my attention? Shimmery, jangly, pop gems, TF, TT...good stuff indeed. But is that the same wallpaper that OK Go used to make their bodysuits?
Twilly like. I'm a sucker for happy and snappy sounding music.
1 small point of contention. army/navy is actually a different band which i think has disbanded. there is no slash in this band's name. i have an advance copy of the record and it's mind-blowing. all brilliant pop songs with great production.
