The new Future of the Left album, Travels With Myself and Another, is AMAZING. Angular, muscular, yet catchy noise rock. The sound is not too far off from Shellac--tight drums, thick gritty bass, deliciously sludgey guitar--and there's some Kong in there too (with whom they've collaborated). I think they're definitely the best band to have debuted in the past two years, and I don't say that lightly since I love Vampire Weekend (among others).
