Yeah! It’s been a while since Lexington’s Scourge of the Sea shared any new songs with us, but that day has finally come. Andrew English called me up today with the good news that they’ve finished recording two new songs and are ready to share!

Link fixed! Sorry about that

MP3: Scourge of the Sea – Tropical Place
I kind of regret mentioning that Scourge are from Lexington and friends of mine. I feel like that might turn a few of you off to checking this out — you know, nepotism and all that. But don’t let that fool you (in fact, it’s generally harder to get on here if we’re friends); these guys are fantastic. “Tropical Places” is like a youthful, fun Iron and Wine or some track that should really have been on the Garden State soundtrack. It’s great laid-back folk-pop that makes me want to lay out on a hill overlooking our moderately sized city of Lexington and just think about all it has to offer.

Scourge are also currently shopping around for a label, so if you know anyone who’s looking for something good to release in the near future…
