Moneen - The World I Want To Leave Behind

I decided now would be a good time to dip back in a little bit of my catalogue. Toward the conclusion of 2009 Moneen released their 4th studio full-length, The World I Want To Leave Behind. First thing I did was buy it off iTunes for the 2 exclusive tracks...which I am posting here now. Now some years ago, when I lived in Pennsylvania, I had the opportunity to see them at some dinky bar on a Wednesday evening for $10. There were maybe about 20 of us there but it was possibly one of my favorite shows ever. I stayed after and met the members of the band and they autographed my copy of The Red Tree. I waited for a couple of years to pass before they released their latest album, I bought it on iTunes and found out they were doing a vinyl pressing...limited to 500 on translucent gold. I jumped all over this and at the same time got me a copy of Hold That Sound. Now I hope that I can meet up with them again to get that autographed perhaps get a few good pics with them.

Now for the songs...Alright, these are the iTunes album only tracks Dark & Ugly and Angels. The prior also appeared on the vinyl pressing of The World I Want To Leave Behind and included a passage about the meaning of the song...not unlike what I type on this blog. Both of these songs are slower tracks and are great for winding down the album after the 6 minute brutality of The Glasshouse.

Both songs are 256kbps mp3.
