Lilys - Eccsame the Photon Band

http://s22.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0NO0 ... JMW48S70FT

AllMusic:
The obscurely titled Eccsame the Photon Band is the Lilys' detour into spartan dream-pop, a guise they wear quite well. Kurt Heasley's soft, distanced voice is ideally suited to the coldly atmospheric textures of tracks like the langorous opener "High Writer at Home" and the narcotically catchy "The Hermit Crab," and while not everything works -- too many of the ideas here are simply not realized to their fullest extent -- the record is still one of the Lilys' best. It's a shame they shed this particular skin so quickly.

already have it*

it's a little too atmospheric and texturey and langorous for my tastes though, i prefer the more straightforward "Better Can't Make Your Life Better" or "The 3 Way"**

Hopefully someone from the morning/day crew downloads this. My last few offerings weren't too popular.

I haven't heard this, but the description is intriguing enough to make me change that.

Thanks!
