I totally can't remember what in the world 'olly oxen free' means, or when you are supposed to yell it! With my new NY pal Audrey's helpful enlightenment, you say it after you play hide-and-go-seek to make everyone come out. Now that that's clear, let me tell you about an exciting sophomore effort coming from Michigan's 5-piece, Mason Proper! There's some interesting story telling going on in this album (if you want to call it that) but I can't help but get excited over each electronic synth and sound spread throughout the tracks. Lock and Key has it beginning at the 7-second mark. Do you hear it? I dig those noises. Olly Oxen Free is rolling out in a few weeks but you can pre-order here with a FREE dvd!
