Denmark's favorite Pacific Northwest style indie rock band is back! "Hey, Girl" is the first single from their new album, and doesn't seem to venture too far from Figurines of old. However, a little bit of Grandaddy seems to manifest itself in the song, particularly the sing-songy quality of the verses. Let's see what the rest of the album brings!

Sorry I'm a little late to the table with this one...but if you're like me, a lot of times you will see a band name over and over and again and gloss over it without investigating further. However, that one fateful day comes where you say, what the hell, let's check these guys out, and you end up loving them. Most recently, this happened with Figurines for me. They are a danish take on pacific northwest indie pop/rock. Listening to them, it's hard not to draw comparisions to Built To Spill or Modest Mouse. It's tight, fast, and melodic. A few off kilter chord progressions, but that's all part of the fun!
They are coming to the Rickshaw Stop in SF on Oct. 28 with another one of my new favorite bands, The Morning Benders...
