...time for liberal thought,” The third track on the album, “Waiting for the 7.18,” mimics the pace of the first with another slow-paced intro—accented by glockenspiel and Okereke—leading into an epic chorus. “The Prayer” opens with a steady, stomp beat over a low, Gregorian hum, and showcases electronic ambience and Okereke’s playfully arrogant lyrics. This interesting blend of sounds is, strangely enough, the album’s first single. “Uniform?...

Band members Brent Knopf, Justin Harris, and Danny Seim are each multitalented musicians, and their experimental arrangements range from saxophones and glockenspiels to Knopf’s own digital looping machine.

You seem to value the cameras, watches and binoculars, but better cameras, better watches and more powerful binoculars are made every year. No one in this world can make another...
...beginning of 2006, French prime minister Dominique de Villepin lamented the chorus of commentators gleefully singing dirges for France. A year later, he has his counterexample: in 2006, France pushed past Ireland to become the most fecund nation in the European Union, with an average of two babies per woman. Is there any surer sign that the French aren't embracing decline so much as they are each other? The Lyons daily Le Progrès was among those expressing congratulations to the women of France.
