New Man Man - "Top Drawer"

We've been enjoying Man Man's new one Rabbit Habits. Mightily. Across the Philly boys' newest, it's clear that though Honus Honus quit the coffee shop, he and his Men Men aren't lacking in caffeine (or circus noisemakers). Actually, the album's first single "Top Drawer" is one of the slower -- or less silly-stringed -- affairs, working itself along a sexy kinda slink and Rain Dogs rollick, while making a list of all the things "you need." To listen, hop like a Rabbit.

It sounds like he says "you need a latte" in there. Dude reads minds minds.

Rabbit Habits is out 4/8 on ANTI-.

taking a page from dr.doggie w/ moriarty behind the boards - i will buy this album.
i haven't been able to get into them b/c i think they try too hard to be noticed and do not let their music speak for itself -- my gut says that theres something to hear and with this album i maybe a convert...


hey maybe its me, i don't get most phila people.

This new album is going to be so great! I'm going to interview these guys in April at the Bowery in NYC. I'm 100x stoked.
