Plus, it helps if you're familiar with the Indianapolis / Broad Ripple scene. When listening to Margot et al, just imagine you're in semi-rural, semi-urban central Indiana.

They played live at Slope Day here up at Cornell and were EVEN WORSE LIVE!

hey you go to cornell? I'm at bing and maybe we should have a NY downstate mini meet!

I love Tv on the radio , but this for me is just boring MTV music. Sorry, thanks for the recommendation anyway

I picked up The Dust of Retreat back in December and listened to it for probably 3 weeks straight. After that, it kind of wore off, but I still play it on occasion. It is a good album.

This is an older thread, but I just felt like posting that I really enjoyed listening to this album, and thanks for the suggestions. To Coltrane or anyone else, what albums would you recommend which are similar to The Dust of Retreat in sound, catchiness, or whatever?

Also, I understand Margot is recording another album this year; great news!

Great bump. I can't think of anything that has a very Margot sound to it. You might want to try Midlake - The Trial of Van Occupanther. Another gorgeous album.

Another option is Archer Avenue which has members of Margot (and is also a Royal Tenenbaums reference.) Hard to get a hold of the cd, but you can download some tracks (legally and free!) here

Gave this another listen.
Liking it much better the 2nd time around.

Now I'm gonna have to check out all of the ones in your signature, dangit.
The ones I don't already have of course.
