The best group you've probably never heard of. Unless you read the news items on Dresden Codak, in which case you have heard of them.

Their website is http://www.balthropalabama.com.

I don't know if they have their album up for free download any more, but if they do, get it.

This is, of course, assuming you like weird, quirky indie schtuff. Which I do.

(This thread serves the dual purpose of drawing attention away from the Marilyn Manson thread. I mean, really. Great way to christen a new forum, guys.)

I'll give them a more thorough listen, but my initial reaction is that they sound like a watered-down, less-musical version of The Hush Sound or New Pornographers.
