I saw great Area a few months’ back at the White Hotel. For maybe 25 minutes they sang their short, straight-up songs over a backing track while handicam footage presumably filmed in some far off eastern metropolis was projected onto a huge sheet. I know that sometimes people greedily crave the ‘full band experience’, but for a project as mysterious and personal as Great Area, this audio/visual set-up was perfect.
ANyway, Good Coding is their new album courtesy of Lolina’s Relaxin’ Records. Drag the files over onto your Creative Zen MP3 player then take a walk around the city for a while.
