Too much to hope that this is "the eraser" to "in rainbows"? probably.

My inner fangirl is very excited although slightly unnerved by the terrible 'stache.

Anybody else think that "Our Love to Admire" has actually aged pretty well? (...well, except for "All Fired Up", anyway)

He looks like a tool. However, I love this snippet already and the Interpol fangirl within me that has mellowed since OLTA is squealing again.

That pseudonym is awful and that mustache is even worse!

If you are not working on a farm, a cop or a porn actor, there's no reason for anyone to have a mustache.

Sounds... like it could be interesting. Let's wait and see.

At least he didn't rip off the logo of a middling Texas folk-rock duo.
