A consistently overlooked and underrated band, Harvey Danger just released a new album after a five year absence. And in a move that is sure to get them some attention, and some new fans they are making it available for downloading at their website! The zipped file includes all the music, artwork, liner notes that you would normally get. Their hope is that you like it enough to either buy a copy (which comes with a bonus disk) or send them a donation.

The album is growing on me, since it is a departure from their previous one "King James Version". For me, that will still be their best one, but this is a close second. A softer, more mature sound is present in their new work. A bit more "popish" with a bit more piano, and as always the clever and intelligent lyrics that gives this band a loyal, but cultish following. Let's hope that this catapults them into the mainstream.
