Song of the Day - October 3, 2005

"It's good to be the king," The King of France that is. Their latest self-titled album is full of quirky pop classics. The track "Mexico" reminds me of The Smiths, except on Prozac, as the music is definitely not as melancholy. Echoes of Lou Reed or could that be Iggy Pop can be heard when lead vocalist Steve Salad suddenly switches from singing to speaking during the course of the song. Their whole album is a treat. I particularly liked the tracks "Beast," and the energetic "White Confection" Click here to hear the song of the day "Mexico." To hear their album in it's entirety click here
