When he’s not in our shared office giving out artist grants, my colleague Dan is a drummer.  His band Eureka Birds released their new album last week, and I have to say, it’s incredible.  If you don’t already know Eureka Birds, just wait: you will.  And trust me, you’ll be glad to get ahead of the curve on this one.

For those of you fortunate enough to live near Baltimore, the record release show is this Saturday at Metro Gallery.  Meanwhile, you can listen to the album on their website, and then go buy your copy here.  I think my favorite songs from Strangers at the moment are “Not Coming Home” and “Come On.”  But the whole album is so great that I’ve actually changed my mind several times since starting this post.

Which tracks do you like?  Any great new albums you’ve been listening to?
