EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Mittens On Strings - La Middle Ages

Posted Jan 29, 2009 2:03 PM by tonyplunkett

Late of defunct indie label Emperor Jones (The Mountain Goats, American Analog Set), Mittens on Strings have recently transported their caravan of sound from Kentuckiana to the Windy City, and self-produced and recorded a new album of accomplished, varied pop music. At times it feels a little K Records, at times a little Half Japanese, but the whole record has a pervasive sense of lightness and whimsy that helps it sit nicely in between the worlds of pop, folk and rock. "La Middle Ages" is a slower, more elegiac turn for MoS that highlights the tension as well as the symmetry between the various stringed instruments in play. Enjoy, and stay tuned for bigger moves in the near future.
