SONG OF THE DAY (#240)


'misadventures of the campaign kids,' by king of prussia

if there were ever a band seeming tailormade to join the ranks of the elephant six collective, it would be king of prussia. [they're even from athens, georgia, too!] given that the elephant six collective includes, among others, the olivia tremor control, neutral milk hotel, the apples in stereo, beulah, the essex green, and the ladybug transistor, even being mentioned in the same breath with those bands is pretty darn cool 'cos those bands, as you know, are amazing. if you'd like a little more info on the band, you can read a comprehensive bio here.

kindercore [also home to the essex green, of montreal, and ashley park] is releasing king of prussia's mini-album, 'save the scene,' on january 8, i think. it's some seriously good smack, i'm tellin' ya'. i've been listening to them all morning and it just gets better with every listen. i think king of prussia is poised to make some serious waves next year, so get on the bandwagon now.

king of prussia: misadventures of the campaign kids
king of prussia: spain in the summertime
king of prussia: terrarium

p.s. starting next week and continuing the following week i'm counting down my top favorite songs and albums of the year. then i'm taking a few weeks off to enjoy the holiday and learn some new adjectives.
