This clip is a teaser for the forthcoming record by The Life and Times entitled Tragic Boogie due out April 14, 2009 on Arena Rock Recordings. The KCMO trio is gearing up for a month-long trek in April to support the new tunes. What I’ve heard so far of the record picks up right where Suburban Hymns left off: loud, cascading, shoegaze guitars floating above a den of stomping, colossal beats. Except bigger and louder. Prepare thine ears.
