Dear Pelican,
So once my friend told me that you guys were the next Explosions in the Sky. I heard one track, and I really liked it. And then I heard this track and it totally blew me away. Then in a related story, another friend of mine and I found out that we could get free gift certificates to the Gateway mall in Salt Lake if we test drove a Scion. (I have had a soft spot in my heart for those xB’s for a while, so I jumped at the chance.) The car was quite nice. It was pretty roomy in a really strange way, and the guy who drove us around kept playing an acoustic version of Better Than Ezra’s “Good” on the iPod in the car. I told him that the song was Nathaniel’s favorite, and he got really excited and kept playing it. Anyway, in the end I got to test drive a car, and also got a free t-shirt which is still sitting in my car, as well as the 15 dollar gift certificate. With the gift certificate, I bought your Australasia LP – expecting it to be very much like this song. However, to my surprise, the whole thing was metal. And it wasn’t that new hippy metal, which is just metal some of the time. I mean, it was straight up metal — it just wouldn’t let up. Now, while I can handle a little bit of metal — I would prefer the softer build up that you guys illustrate in this song…just in case you were wondering my preferences.
The end,
Rob
Better Than Ezra? now we’re talking.
