Throw Me The Statue has made themselves one heck of an indie pop album! Moonbeams is full of amazing instrumentation, happy melodies, wonderful harmonies, and interesting instrumentation. One real stand out is the unique and innovative drum work on About To Walk. It helps transform the song from above average into truly special. The musicianship is really solid and interesting throughout. This is a solid effort that will totally delight indie pop-rock purists.http://www.myspace.com/throwmethestatue
On a side note, Secretly Canadian does a real disservice to TMTS by comparing them musically to Neutral Milk Hotel's In The Aeroplane Over The Sea (visit the Sec Can website). It is a totally impossible standard for virtually any band to live up to. While not dissimilar to the Elephant 6 efforts of the 90s, Throw Me The Statue has done some fine work here that is original enough to merit a description that is based on their own creation and not some other band's laudits.
