US band The Heavenly States' new album, is a 7-track collection of intense fragments of experience from a dystopian America, and offers images culled from American trauma. With a sound,attitude, and point of view previously likened by reviewers and critics to Dinosaur, Jr., Pavement, The Clash, Talking Heads and The Replacements, Oui features all of the States' musical traits: hooks, singa-longs, the lush string and keyboard arrangements of Genevieve Gagon, ample melodies, the huge drumming of Jeremy Gagon, and the raucous guitar playing of lead singer Ted Nesseth. Guests on the album include Britt Daniel of Spoon and special guest Eugene Mirman (Flight of the Conchords).
