Rock Plaza Central

Remember this name. Now go to your local record store and ask if they have heard of them. All you Smog/Will Oldham/Okkervil River/Neutral Milk Hotel fans are about to get really excited. This is as excited as I've been about a new band since The Arcade Fire first hit.

The new record, Are We Not Horses, is all about robotic horses.

Robotic horses who think they are real horses.

For real.

Caught in a battle between good and evil. Between angels and humans. And after eradicating the world of the angels, wondering if they fought for the right side.

I am not making this up.

And as potentially pretentious and adorable as an album with such a premise could prove to be, this one simply isn't either of those things.

It's exciting and fun and fantastic.

And it drops on April 17th.

If you'd like to hear them, go visit my myspace profile. Theirs is the song that is playing.

Enjoy.
