Palomar: "Our Haunt"

The guy and gals of Palomar.

When Brooklyn's Palomar released their very first back in 1999, lots of folks were comparing them to bands like The Fastbacks and yes, Talulah Gosh. Now, eight years and three albums later, they've grown up into a slightly different sound. Their fourth record, and Misra Records debut, All Things, Forests, is a little less Talulah and little more Rilo, but we don't mind, actually. The single, "Our Haunt," has been on repeat the past couple days, and though that's all I've got to go on, I'm willing to bet this record's gonna be a favorite here.

[MP3]: Palomar :: Our Haunt (Highly Recommended!!!)
I had a paragraph or so written about this song, but after I read it to myself it just sounded dumb, because all I really feel the need to say is that this is just a good song. It's simply an really great, abrasive pop song with pretty female harmonies. Nothing I say is gonna make this song sound better or worse so I'll just stop talking. Oh, near the end there's a pretty nice solo that I like.
