New Heavenly States

One of the albums that I've been listening to a lot lately is the new disc from San Francisco's The Heavenly States, entitled Delayer.

I was a huge fan of the band's 2005 album, Black Comet, and in my opinion the new album is stronger in just about every way. Here's the album's lead single:

The Heavenly States, "The Race"

If you're in New York this week, do yourself a favor and catch one (or more) of the band's three shows at Piano's. In fact, if you're just about anywhere in the country other than D.C. (sniff sniff), you'll be able to catch the band at some point in the next couple of months. Check it out:
