Lejeune
For Club and Country

A few years back indie became the hippest musical and fashion trend, and many bands and friends have since been lost into the world of those who are trying just a little too hard. Lejeune's latest record, "For Club and Country," is a wonderful collection of echoes from the bands that inspired the new-wave revivalism, most noticeably REM's influence, and their assimilation with a secure, unique sound. While the sound of this band falls within the sprawling indie genre, Lejeune's confident displays separate them easily from those who are merely well dressed and in possession of a Smith's record or two. — LGLP
