We Landed On The Moon! – Re: Your Letter
Occasionally over the course of this blog thing I’ll run across a band, quite like them, maybe write a little something about them, but then they drift out of my universe. We Landed On The Moon! are one such band. More than two years ago, I heard a handful of their songs, found them amiable enough and included them on here. Yet I don’t think I’ve listened to them in the time since outside of the odd shuffle pick on my iPod. They were brought crashing back into my world when a press release for their second album arrived in my inbox.
Without listening more, I have no idea if this second album is going to have the same enjoyable, yet ultimately throwaway quality to it. Initial listens suggest that it’s all rather more accomplished, and dare I say it, even a little more polished. That doesn’t always have to be a bad thing, and certainly in the case of a band that still have one foot in the eighties, it’s probably for the best. Still, at the moment the album is getting fairly consistent plays, which is no mean feat where there’s a new Los Campesinos! album floating around out there.
