They were the best band to start and end in the first five years of the decade. Every time I put the self titled on it still blows me away. Hugh McElroy has been in a bunch of bands since they split, but I feel like everybody that was in that band knows they could never match how intense or engaging that music was, so they don't really try and go anywhere near that aesthetic. Along with Pavement, Black Eyes are the only band I'd confidently pay to see if they ever reunited. I really want to know what Daniel Martin-McCormick is up to-- he was one of the most interesting guitarists to come around in a while (actually, just found he has a myspace page with jams on it). But yeah, driving back from Fort Reno and blasting their albums is one of my favorite parts of summer.
