Margot and the Nuclear So and So's - A Children's Crusade on Acid [mp3]

Band of the Week: Margot & The Nuclear So So's

move out of the way Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, there is a new band in town with a long name ready to take the indie crown.

the Indiana based band is kind of like a cooler, American version of Arcade Fire, or a more hip Beirut. they weave in and out of the folk genre as well

the band is composed of the following talented musicians:

Richard Edwards-vocals, guitar
Andy Fry-guitar
Chris Fry-drums
Hubert Glover-brass
Erik Kang-violin, lap steel
Casey Tennis-perccussion
Emily Watkins-keys, vocals
Tyler Watkins-bass

their second LP was actually released as two separate albums on two different labels, Animal! and Not Animal, because of a misunderstanding between the record labels.

I can't decide which album I like better yet (I'm leaning toward Not Animal), but I do know that this band has something special. they stand out among many bands who have attempted a similar sound but ended up being drowned out by each other.

the band currently has a handful of shows, check em out if you're in the area

M&TNSS- As Tall As Cliffs [mp3]
this one is just pretty.

M&TNSS - A Children's Crusade on Acid[mp3]

M&TNSS - Hello Vagina [mp3]
this one almost sounds like Radiohead, I really like it

M&TNSS- Broadripple is Burning [mp3 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!]
this one is my favourite, even though it isn't an accurate representation of the higher energy sound on most of their songs.
