Throw Me The Statue: So hot right now

I've neglected new bands recently for releases from Whitney Houston and Jay-Z. Sorry alts.

But Throw Me The Statue's song "Ancestors," helped me fall back into indie/pop. The rest of the Seattle band's sophomore CD "Creaturesque" (released Aug. 4) sounds just as good. (Think Interpol meets Modest Mouse.)

Read what Pitchfork thinks. Watch their sweet safari video for "Hi-Fi Goon" to the left. (Note: FlipSide does not endorse throwing statues, especially heavy/valuable ones. But we do endorse reading the newspaper over breakfast.)
