Sometimes great stuff somehow sneaks its way into my inbox. A recent find was the Time I’ve Wasted EP from the New York band Normandy. It bustles forth with four songs full of energy and melody. It is untamed indie pop that dares to be a little noisy as well as catchy. The result is something akin to a much less dangerous and kid-friendly version of Parts And Labor. Like wearing sunscreen and staying out in the sun a little too long, it might hurt a little, but its not a bad burn and the tan you’re gonna get is totally worth it.

Although singer Vincent Dee claims that the Shins didn’t change his life, I think that fans of that band would also enjoy Normandy as would any fan of catchy upbeat indie pop-rock. Fans of Normandy has graciously made the entire Time I’ve Wasted EP available for download from their myspace site. Load it up on your iPod or your Zune, plug it into your MP3 player equipped automobile, roll down the windows, and head out for a drive. Or just listen on the train to work. Good stuff.
