Flameshovel is such a sick record label these days. Just about everything they release is top notch, and the latest album from Chicago's The Narrator is no exception. It is called All That To The Wall and it will be released less than a month from now on May 15th.
The Narrator treads similar musical ground as fellow Chicagoans (and Flameshovel label mates) Chin Up Chin Up and Bound Stems, and that is (IMHO) a great thing. They play (you know) indie rock that combines the slacker-isms of Pavement with the disjointed post-rock flavors of the Tim Kinsella school of rock.
During the making of All That To The Wall the band's drummer departed so they improvised and recruited the drummers of Oxford Collapse and Russian Circles to handle backbeat duties for about half of the songs each. It turned out pretty well from what I can tell. Whatever the circumstances, All That To The Wall is a heckuva great record, and one that you will definitely want to get your hand on
