Named after the phrase “in lieu of,” Cincinnati-based five-piece is heading to New York City in support of their third EP, the five-track BODY OF FRIENDS, BODY OF WATER (Lujo, July 2010), the follow-up to last year’s PASSING ISLANDS and THRESHING FLOOR. Drew Jacoby, Curt Kiser, Ben Rush, Robert Ritter, and James Bishop play ambient electronica with lush sounds that all come together on such songs as “Mountain Thoughts,” off the new disc. The quintet will be at Piano’s on August 8 with Old Monk and We Barbarians and at the National Underground on August 9.
