Occasionally I get down about the future of the "band," of the guitarist-drummer-vocalist set-up. So many of them just dissolve into a great amalgamous blot for me. Then there's bands like Austin's Harlem whose mission in life seems to be proving to the world that there's still songs to be written without the aid of Ableton and Reason. "Beautiful and Very Smart" has one of the best, "hit you over the head obvious" choruses I've heard in a while, and it sounds like it'll be used to soundtrack some upcoming "indie coming of age story," which kinda makes me want to run to the bathroom, but then you remember that those things usually have pretty good soundtracks.
