A few weeks ago I made a resolution to listen to one new band per day. Guys, I am doing horribly with that resolution. However, I’m doing a lot better than I was. And more often than not, it’s resulted in some happy ears and a fuller iPod. Take Crystal Moustache for example; I gave them a shot and liked what I heard.

MP3: Crystal Moustache – Zombie Heart
Rolling Stone’s recent humor issue is full of interviews with great comedians, lots of whom lament that the internet has made it easy for people to publicize themselves so quickly. Great comedians, they say, need time to perfect their art before hitting people upside the head with it. If that’s the case, let’s hope I’m not ruining Crystal Moustache by throwing light on their music. The song’s nice, to be sure, but I’m really most impressed by their potential. “Zombie Heart” is a nice laid back song that avoids being overly simple in favor of some great seldom-trodden middle between weird and relaxing.
