Throw Me The Statue’s 2008 debut, Moonbeams (Secretly Canadian), is the ultimate vacation album. Full of dreamy, woozy pop songs about Yucatán sand and romance in foreign countries, it plays like the soundtrack to a summer. Throw Me The Statue’s latest EP, Purpleface, is a bird of the same feather. With three new songs (“Ship,” “Honey Bee” and “That’s How You Win”) along with a reworking of a Moonbeams favorite (“Written In Heart Signs, Faintly”), Purpleface serves as a reminder that no one does fuzzy, lo-fi and lovelorn quite like Throw Me The Statue leader Scott Reitherman. Check out the Pedro The Lion-esque “Ship” below.
