At midnight my house is ablaze


Despite playing in bands and going to shows for a long time, one thing I've never really gotten trapped into is the whole prospect of doing shows for other bands. I think I can count on one hand the number of times it's happened, and it's always been the result of someone else dropping the ball in some way or me being tricked into it unknowingly.

The last time this happened was two summers ago, and the band in question at the time was called Polar Bear Club, from upstate New York. To this day their set at that show, in a basement that must have been at least 100 degrees, is one of the best I've ever seen and for years will probably be what I think back on when people ask me about New Brunswick and basement shows.

The reason I'm posting this is because their full-length record comes out today, and is worth your time. Stream the whole thing here.
