  • Experimental indie duo The Internal Tulips will release their debut album later this month on Planet Mu. The curiously titled Mislead Into a Field by a Deformed Deer will be the duo's first release, though both members of the group have a history with Planet Mu: Brad Laner used to record under the name Electric Company, and Alex Graham used to go by Lexaunculpt. As The Internal Tulips, Graham and Laner play a unique brand of electronically enhanced indie-pop, most of which carries a breezy echo of the Beach Boys. Though the record certainly sports an off-kilter vibe, most of the tracks aren't nearly as strange as their titles ("1/2 Retarded Tuner of Hurricanes," "Invalid Terrace"), and the overall effect is consistently emotional and at times very somber. Tracklist 01. 1/2 Retarded Tuner of Hurricanes 02. Bee Calmed 03. 9 Tomorrows 04. Arlie 05. Dead Arm Blues #b510 06. Talking Hoshizaki Blues 07. Mr. Baby 08. Songbird 09. Parasol 10. Fixed Confidence 11. Long Thin Heart 12. Invalid Terrace 13. We Breathe. Planet Mu will release Mislead Into A Field By A Deformed Deer on March 31st, 2010.
