While they finally did get their Pitchfork review the other day, Harlem, and last year's "Free Drugs ;)" didn't get nearly enough attention. It's hard not to be smitten by Harlem (who are from Austin, Texas), with their sweet garagey riffs, and "cooler-than-you" attitude. Sure this is recycling; Harlem aren't doing anything new.. but they have a song called "Psychedelic Tits", and "South of France" was one of the best tracks of 2008. Harlem waste absolutely no time, and come straight at you with hooks like "I hate every book I ever read", and "I'm into sh*t that you don't even knoooooow" For a band that fits nicely into the current fuzzy scene that's starting to overtake independent music, I don't understand why people aren't pissing themselves over Harlem.
