Marry Me Murray

If you've spent any amount of time with me in the last month, you have undoubtedly heard me singing the praises of The Dears' new album Gang of Losers... or you've literally heard me singing it, cause I've been doing that too. Their songs have been in my ears and on my lips since the day I got the record... and even after listening to it close to 20 times in recent weeks, I have yet to fall out of love with it.

Pop Matters has posted a review of the record which pretty much hits all the same points I would if I were a writer and not .. well, me. Check it out here.

Also, if you haven't seen this band live before, I HIGHLY recommend it. They have some shows coming up, but none of them are anywhere near me.. perhaps they're near you? Does anyone want to fly me to Glasgow so that I can see them on my birthday? hmmm...
