Pitchfork's Languid Prose

I complement Pitchforks romantic rhetoric.

Australian band the Middle East released their 5 song EP, Recordings of the Middle East, in their home country last year. This year they're making it available in the U.S. for the first time on October 27, or you can download it now through the band's MySpace. The first track is called "The Darkest Side", a simple, finger-plucked acoustic affair with alternating and harmonizing vocals that lend the hushed track a sense of beleaguered hope.

I do enjoy the band title track in a remorseful sense. The Refrain had some hopeful harmonies.
