The Submarines : Honeysuckle Weeks

thesubmarineshoneysuckleweeks.jpgMoving beyond the picturesque wedding gift love story that was their 2006 debut, The Submarines are back with a more wholesome offering.

Honeysuckle Weeks has the kind of precision production that makes me lust after bands like The Notwist. Catchy melodies repeated and layered Philip Glass-style loops partnered with hand claps and bouncy rhythms make this one album worth playing twice — if not three times in a row.

Favorite tracks include “1940,” “The Wake Up Song” and “Xavia.” Stream a few tracks here.

Honeysuckle Weeks hits stores May 13th on Nettwerk and the group has a headlining tour that’s skipping Minneapolis (the jerks).
