Not since the late Great Mutant Skywheel has such a detectably educated assembly of talented musicians provided an entertainment factor commensurate with the impressive pedigree... redolent of Stereolab, Lamb, and Mono, with comparably crisp hi-fi (truthfully, the entire production here is beyond reproach, remarkably by the band itself) ... when the twins switch off the synths and open those violin cases, they may as well conceal tommy guns.

For Abednego

Song Profile

Release: Starfish EP

DOB: Fall 2003

I was a Blur kid you were too
there weren't many other who were like us too
not in Magic America, none like you

who was Abednego it was you
I put it in my shoe
brought it out with me to school
here in Magic America, none like you.

the other kids busy saying nothing 24 hours around the clock
oh have they found a cure for those unhappy and sick at heart

before I write you before I read you
before I even so much as meet you
funny to think I already miss you
here all alone, digital city
before I need you before I leave you
before I even so much as see you
I want you to know I already miss you.

remember the day you said you fell in love
with a librarian she was a lesbian
here in Magic America, none like you

who was Abednego who would know
I put it in my shoe
brought it out with me to school
here in Magic America, none like you
