Perhaps there was some sort of subliminal prodding, with the Multiple Brooklyn Vegan posts I didn't pay close attention to, or The Pitchfork review I don't remember reading, etc, but even tho I had never listened to Rock Plaza Central before last night and couldn't have told you what they sounded like if you held a gun to my head, I had a good feeling about these guys when I opened the Yep-Rock mailer at home after a long day at work. Sure enough, it's a pretty great listen the first couple times through. Looks like I gave it a shot just at the right time, too, as they're playing Glasslands with Oxford Collapse on Saturday (a show which I was already thinking about attending.)
Perhaps these fellas are flying a bit close to the Neutral Milk Hotel sun, and that may freak out some people, but I think it's still really enjoyable. I was just complaining to myself how I was getting a little sick of everything I've been listening to of late. This is just what I needed.
Rock Plaza Central - My Children, Be Joyful (mp3)
Rock Plaza Central - When We Go, How We Go (mp3)
Get the whole album on emusic. It's well worth it.
