Before there was The Tortured Poets Department, there was a Poets Party – the most recent release from reliable Minneapolis art-rock stalwarts The Suburbs.

I’ve been a fan since the early 80s, and happy to say they keep making great albums. Recorded and mixed at Dream Hog, which is Steve Price’s studio, and produced by Chan Poling and Steve Price. Janey Winterbauer adds vocals along with Polin and a band including Price, Hugo Klaers, Jeremy Yivisaker, and Steve Brantseg. (Much the same band I saw here)
