Travis Morrison, the artist formerly known as 25% of The Dismemberment Plan, drops his first solo record just a year after the demise of TDP. A glimpse into Travistan (the first three tracks offered here) reveals PETA-inspired pop, an eager, piano-driven morality play, and a sing-song memoir cluttered up with live studio audience effects and Defender(TM) samples. Lick off Ben Fold’s sugar-coating, but don’t go as dour as Elliott Smith, and you got Mr. Morrison here.
I canít get Song for the Orca out of my head. Itís seriously stuck. I keep having dreams of animal revolutionÖ
Dang! I wish I'd known about this Ludacris cover when I was making that library mix tape.
Thanks for the links.
