Random "Discovery" of the Day: Experimental Aircraft

No, not the Spruce Goose. Although the Spruce Goose was pretty funny.

I was listening to a KEXP (Seattle radio station) podcast at work. Personally, if I have to sit through a bunch of semi-boring mid-tempo blaahmusic to find one really good song, it's worth it to me. I almost unsubscribed to this particular podcast because I don't listen to it that much, but I'm glad I didn't, because I heard a good'un today.

This song, "Upper East Side," is a pretty good, chug-chug-chugger. I've only heard it once, but I like it. I have a terrible attention span, even when it comes to music I enjoy, and I seldom can hold on to a rock song that's longer than 5 minutes, and this one's 6 1/2, but I didn't get bored with it.

I've never heard of Experimental Aircraft before, but apparently they've been around for 11 years and they're from Austin. I'll have to check out more of their stuff. I feel like when I randomly hear a track this way, I end up disappointed by the band, but we'll see. Apparently "Upper East Side" is off of their most recent record, and it's the first they've recorded in about 5 years.

I hope you enjoy. Ain't you lucky, it's a full version, Track 7, on the player to your right. Please enjoy.

You can legally download this track at the band's website if you like it: http://www.experimentalaircraft.com/. Just hit the audio link on the toolbar and select "Upper East Side."
