This Will be One for the Books

This Will Be One for the Books captures the vibe of the band's energetic live shows and the blistering fun of what happens when people really enjoy making music together. On their latest effort, We Landed on the Moon! sounds like Blondie if Blondie hadn't spent the last half of their career covering island kitsch or trying to rap. The new eleven song LP combines sizzling guitars and thumping heartbeat rhythms balanced by Melissa Eccles' expressive vocals, and melded together with the subtle touches of handclaps, harmonies and fender rhodes piano. Chock full of WLotM!'s trademark catchy hooks and the band's flair for the dramatic, the result is a record full of verve and life that will rattle in your headphones like a big dancey washing machine. Formed in early 2006, WLotM! quickly developed a devout local following before taking off on the first of many trips across the Eastern half of the United States. "We just wanted to make a rock record," explains guitarist John Lambremont. "There were times in the past where I felt like we'd get caught up in trying to do so much, too much - with this record, we just wanted to make music that makes people feel cool, even if they are just hanging out in their jammies. To make them feel as if they are right there with us." The record was tracked and mixed at Fudge Recording Studio in New Orleans, LA by Jacques DelaTour. Mastering done by Noah Mintz at Lacquer Channel (Broken Social Scene).
