Frog Eyes

Given the previous involvement of Wolf Parade's Spencer Krug, it's no stunner that Frog Eyes also breaks the rules of everyday indie rock. The 9-minute "Bushels" [MP3 here] is an offbeat, eccentric affair that could be one of the epic indie rock pieces of the summer. "Idle Songs," also from the new record released by Absolutely Kosher [myspace] throws Arcade Fire into fast-forward. The Canadian band goes on tour starting now.
