here's a wonderfully wistful, spaced-out, indie pop gem i stumbled upon recently, Poor Young Werther from Philadelphia-based indie/electro pop trio Eat Your Birthday Cake {EYBC} off their debut album "Enemies" (2011).
"Poor Young Werther / met a girl there / She could dance well"
Poor Young Werther is a catchy, disco-driven, shoegazey, melancholy-tinged indie pop anthem for unrequited love, Neibauer's vocals are wistful et fragile, his poignant refrain is punctuated with forlorn, day dreamy harmonies. Werther is musically reminiscent of the early spacey, ambient/electro pop of Air et lyrically of a melancholy, crooning Thom Yorke. enjoy!
the awesome cover artwork is by Matt Silverman, who was apparently inspired by a painting he 'rescued' from an art room trash can at his high school. it is evocative of some obscure 80s post punk/new wave cover.
MP3: Poor Young Werther
i totally recommend that you stream/download the "Enemies" album from the EYBC bandcamp page, it is currently free, which is an incredibly generous gesture.
