There are two words that immediately jumped into my head the first time I listened to the debut album by Throw Me The Statue. The first word is giddy. Giddy because that’s how this music makes me feel. It’s heartfelt, genuine, indie pop. At times they’re acoustic Weezer, at times they spark like The Anniversary, and in other moments they are Band of Horses. Overall they’re a solid band with interesting music.
The second word is disbelief. This album, Moonbeams (amazon) (itunes), is solid from opening to close. Every song has something of interest, some little slice of creativity that you’ll find you enjoy. I’m going with disbelif because I honestly can’t belive it took me two years to finally hear this album. It was released/recorded in 2007 and I’m just now, finally, hearing it. Where have all my music loving friends gone? Why was I not force fed this album years ago?

These tracks are but a taste of how great this album is. I can’t wait to hear their latest effort (which dropped just last week, August 4th 2009, so I’m not that far behind anymore). Trust me though, this is an album to add to your collection.
