Not that you’ve had plenty o’time to digest the duo’s latest opus, Begone Dull Care (out yesterday), what did you think? The first couple of albums the Canadians dropped, I found them to be easily palatable and extremely easy on the ears and the hips. Their latest record has been a little tougher to digest, perhaps it was the grizzle, or perhaps I had no schema behind the title of their album. I have no idea why it bothered me so much. It didn’t seem like them. That was until yesterday. I finally figured out why they had titled their latest release the way they did and everything fell into it’s right place. Please watch the video below and you shouldn’t have any more questions. BTW, they are on tour and marching down to Indio and up around the bend. In case you haven’t listened to the album, you can listen to it in its entirety here and purchase it here.
