So yeah, I didn't give Better Than Ezra's latest album, "Paper Empire" a very favorable review when it came out, and now, two months and one live show later, it still hasn't grown on me very much. But there are standout tracks that deserve some attention, and the band has released two of them as singles off the album.
They led off with "Absolutely Still," and self-produced a video that actually looks pretty damn good (see the official video HERE). The song didn't do that well at radio, peaking right around #40 on the charts, but the band is releasing it on their own label, with help from Sony Red. So without big label backing, good songs can easily fall way short. That may be the case with their new single too. It hasn't had an official release date, but a few stations have picked up on it and given it some spins. (Props to 102.7 EQX!)
It's catchy, and sounds a little bit more alternative than their most recent poppier stuff. Check it out. It's Better Than Ezra with "Black Light."
