Sebastien Grainger: American Names [ep] (Saddle Creek)

Sebastien Grainger: American Names [ep] (Saddle Creek) - For his solo debut Toronto’s Sebastien Grainger, former drummer/singer of Death from Above 1979, melds well with the Omaha imprint’s more rocking side.  Can you say Cursive?  Wall of sound rock is tempered by keyboard swirls and sparser piano balladry.  The first two tracks of the [ep] are from his forthcoming LP Sebastien Grainger and the Mountains due October 2008, and the balance are [ep] exclusives.   [Available exclusively as a 320 Kbps MP3]  Good.
