Originally self-released under “Ibid Records” and later by XL Recordings, “The Loon” somehow sounds like a genuine indie-rock album. Having Pavement as main influence, this band from Minnesota has good vocals, Josh Grier, and nice tunes keeping the album solid all along the way.

1. “Just Drums”
2. “The Illiad”
3. “Insistor”
4. “Crazy Eights”
5. “In Houston”
6. “Manitoba”
7. “Cowbell”
8. “10 Gallon Ascots”
9. “Omaha”
