Kevin and Umbros

Well all... the day we've waited for for almost a year has finally arrived. Kevin Barnes has released his new song Id Engager (above for your listening pleasure). Mixed emotions occur as a result of this song. I am going to reserve absolute judgement until I hear the entire album. Although this song was obviously released as a single "leak" type of MP3, it might not make sense without the full understanding of the album. The song is a bit confusing and schizophrenic. It kind of goes between yelling about ninjas, to leftover disco screams from Hissing Faunas and then also to a wonderful song. I am hoping that, again, this song makes a little more sense in the context of the entire album. Goodness knows Sink the Seine (from Hissing Faunas) doesn't make total sense by itself unless you know where it is coming from and where it's going. On another note, looks like Kevin is over his heartbreak and is now writing about the large amount of hooha he got as a result of being an "indie star".

Umbros: I <3 class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">umbros at the gym. He's new. He walked in with skinny jeans, a tight polo and some chucks. Then worked out in a grey little T and red (short) umbros... like late 80's style. He and I are going to be best friends.
