I'm sorry, but where the hell has Gentleman Auction House been all my life?  Bear with me, cause I'm about to gush like a proud mother.  "ABCDEFGraveyard" playfully hints at the Jackson 5 with a hand-clap chorus that is so infectious, you're going to be beaming within the first 60 seconds.  If you were ever like, man, Secret Machines were so fun on that first record when they were building momentum like it was no big thing to have people standing on tip toes at their gigs waiting for the cymbal crash to break and bring them to the next level of indie rock nirvana, but wouldn't it be cool if instead of just one voice there was a whole chorus of kids shouting in pure glee?  Get ready to play "The Book of Matches" on repeat for the rest of the day.  Or rather, resist that cause if you think this song is as totally bad ass as it can get, wait til they add bloody horns on "We Used To Dream About Bridges."  Alphabet Graveyard comes out next week on Emergency Umbrella Records and if this isn't the most jubilant record to tickle your ears all summer, I'm a goddamned monkey's uncle.
