An excellent new Frog Eyes track (from their upcoming album Tears of the Valedictorian, out early 2007) has been making the rounds recently, thanks to a Force Field PR sampler. Though I love the production on their first two albums, "Idle Songs" is the best sounding Frog Eyes recording yet, and it sounds super good played super loud. It's nice to hear Carey Mercer's voice up front in the mix again, with only a little bit of the echo that liberally drenched his vocals on the Swan Lake album and Frog Eyes' The Future is Inter-disciplinary or Not at All EP. The song boasts a wonderful melody, but the real highlight is Melanie Campbell's increasingly amazing drumming.MP3: Frog Eyes - Idle Songs
