MATM Video of the Week (05.19.08)



What a week! One of our favorite bands, Death Cab for Cutie, has the #1 album in the country right now. Some might say this is one of the signs of the apocalypse. I agree but what a great way to go out...
Anyway, this week's video comes to us via the excellent blog Stereogum. It's Death Cab for Cutie in their rehearsal studio performing the song "Long Division" from their new record Narrow Stairs.

The Trades reviews Exit Sounds



What a great way to start a Monday!! Here's a quote:

"Much of Exit Sounds deals with the darker side of love, whether being caught in love's web, as described in "Addict," or just quiet bemusement with relationships, as with "Thousand Years." - The Trades

The Deli Magazine (Nashville) reviews Exit Sounds



While it's not as over-the-top as previous reviews, The Deli Magazine Nashville review contains maybe our favorite quote to date:

"The throaty, heart-wrenching hooks on Josh Preston’s Exit Sounds are as plentiful and long as…well, as his beard."

Finally, a beard reference.

News from The Young Sophisticates!!!




Thanks to everyone who made it out to our April shows. We'd also like to give a special shout to the strange folks at Grafitti Music Hall! We'll never be back. Thanks to Josh Preston and Nick Shelton for tearing it up with us at The Root Bar and to The New Whole Usuals and Tyler Ramsey for an awesome show at The Basement. The Young Sophisticates are back on the road in June with a new line-up and lots of new songs to both delight and horrify your most sensitive sensibilities. We'll see you soon!
Cheers,
YS
