New The Boy Least Likely To - "Every Goliath Has Its David"

In their recent Progress Report, Pete & Jof said things like "mournful" and "bleak" in reference to their forthcoming The Law Of The Playground LP's lyrics, descriptors nobody first associates with TBLLT. And here they're on about their "puppy powers"... CONTINUE READING NEW THE BOY LEAST LIKELY TO - "EVERY GOLIATH HAS ITS DAVID"»

New The Boy Least Likely To - "A Balloon On A Broken String" / "TBLLT Is A Machine"

There was a good six-month stretch in late '05/early '06 where twee-set UK outfit The Boy Least Likely To were unavoidable: great debut, blogger-packed US debut show in the Meatpacking District's now-gone R&R club (with cupcakes and balloons -- seriously), tons of SXSW gigs, etc. The Boys core duo Peter and Jof seemed to take 2007 off, but today they announce the posting of two new songs from their next record: "A Balloon" has has the carefree levity you'd expect from that title, but "The Boy Least Likely To Is A Machine" is far from the cheery whimsy of The Greatest Party Ever stuff like say "Apple Wagon," which was, at its core, about apple wagons and stars. There's no big "Be Gentle With Me" hit here (yet anyway), but it's interesting to hear them indulging in slightly darker sounds. Hope they still bring cupcakes this time, though.
