(mik) Apples in Stereo...Golden Delicious!

So the The Apples in Stereo released New Magnetic Wonder this week, their first full length with original material in five years.

To me, it seems they picked up right where the phenomenal Tone Soul Evolution left off. A little bit more polished, but the staples remain: sweeping, glorious hooks, ethereal vocals, tongue in cheek lyrics, and an overall toe tappin' good time. At 24(!) tracks, it may run a tad long for a poppy Indie record, but still absolutely recommended. If you squint your eardrums real hard, Robert Schneider's vocals sometimes emulate McCartney.

An ideal listen on a Sunday Afternoon. But I'm listening to it on Wednesday afternoon, and it's still awesome.
