We have no idea how or why, but uber-respected music writer Greil Marcus decided to praise the new Death of a Party album in the new issue of Interview magazine. Here’s what he had to say:

“Four people from Oakland, California, gulping, shouting, delirious, only occasionally pulling back to gain an inch of perspective, running right over a cliff (”She’s too young to be sleeping with a married man, but you’re too old to care”), and then scrambling back up to try it again. The songs are all mysteries, hard to penetrate, full of allure, demanding you solve them.”

Thanks Greil. I guess we’re buddies now. Don’t let us forget to give you a giant high-five next time we cross paths.
