More like 2006's We, The Vehicles and a lot less like their debut ep (that's a good thing), Heresy & the Hotel Choir sees Promise Ring's Davey (vocals) & Dan (drums) continuing their collaboration with the Dismemberment Plan's Eric Axelson (bass). They're getting good reviews in the places that seem to count...Pitchfork says "It's an album full of thwacking yet soft-edged rock percussion, marbled new wave synth embellishments, emphatically down-stroked rhythm guitars that retain the inveterate chugging of late-90s indie-emo, gleaming lead guitar hooks, and fey yet assertive vocals." They're currently out with Jimmy Eat World, you just missed seeing them in LA and OC, but if you jump in the car you can catch them in San Diego tonight or Vegas over the weekend.
