New Two Cow Garage single Lydia was released last friday and it’s freakin’ awesome. If you are a regular reader, you are well aware that I’m totally addicted to Micah Schnabel and Two Cow Garage and I’m eagerly waiting for their upcoming album Sweet Saint Me. I even went and bought this mp3 single and I’m not sure have I ever done that before (because I’m still an old-fashioned guy that prefers to buy records, but this time I couldn’t wait). Lydia is such a fantastic song and the ultimate punk rock Lolita. The lyrics are pretty marvellous altogether and that power pop chorus is stunning. Kind of like Elliot Smith meets The Replacements if we get into that scary and pointless namedropping. There’s no need though, because all that matters is that Two Cow Garage is one of the best rock bands out there right now and Sweet Saint Me is going to be one hell of an album.
