Throw Me The Statue's 'Creaturesque' should tick all the right boxes. The Seattle four piece's second album offers upbeat electro-indie pop, fine melodies and bittersweet lyrics on modern life. The band's founder Scott Reitherman also has an immediately likeable voice and style, reminiscent of the likes of Death Cab For Cutie's Ben Gibbard. But unfortunately....more.

Indie band Throw Me the Statue are back with a new EP entitled Purpleface, a four-song follow-up to last year's Moonbeams. The record features three new songs, "That's How You Win," "Honeybee," and "Ship," and one reworking of a previously released tune, "Written In Heart Signs, Faintly." The band are also recording a full-length LP to be released later this year (hopefully).You can download ...

It occurred to me this morning that despite the fact that I've told literally everyone who will listen how much I love the new Throw Me The Statue album, I have not yet done so in blog format. So here I go, imposing my viewpoint on you, the reader. And my viewpoint is this: Creaturesque is wonderful.It definitely is a different album than its predecessor. Moonbeams had some amazing highs ("Loli...

The second album from the Seattle four-piece is a clever, artistic pop gem.

While I’d heard of Throw Me the Statue, I really had no plans on hunting down the Seattle band’s new album Creaturesque – until I caught wind of Hi-Fi Goon. Now it’s about the only thing I’m listening to of late. Something in Hi-Fi Goon just struck me right away. It is only one second [...]

It's crazy to think that less than a year and a half ago, Scott Reitherman and his bedroom pop project Throw Me The Statue were about as underground as underground gets. Since our first post back in June '07, TMTS has seen all sorts of much-deserved success (anyone see those Rhapsody commercials?). Seems like no one could avoid that catchy lick from "Lolita".It was great too see that TMTS fin...

Hopefully all of you registered to vote. If not, you can see if you still have time by browsing this list and finding your state. I hope all of you have been keeping informed, as Early Voting is now underway in all states that allow it. I, for one, plan on making my way to the early polling location today after work to cast my ballot. I knew who I wanted to vote for last May and nothing has cha...

Back from a brief break spreading the News , BTW TMTS offer a follow-up to the "Lolita " clip with a shot of "Yucatan Gold." This one features a lot more Scott Reitherman, with frenetic editing to match the under pulse, frame speeds flipping from half time to double. The band is very busy doing nothing, which is probably fair since this song is all Scott, in instrumentation and sexual confessio...

Greg Katz , scornful of my love affair with panning, once told me, "You have two ears! Get over it!" Throw Me The Statue could do with some advice like that. They've filled up Moonbeams with enough stereo production to overload a guy with three ears (much less a standard binaural set) and possibly cause internal hemorrhaging in anybody with a 5.1 system. It's also on the lo-fi side, a produ...
