New Margot Material Surfaces

Indiana's Margot and the Nuclear So and So's have been keeping themselves busy with a new album despite splitting from their record label. Even though they're running out of money, the band is trying to forge ahead by playing shows and hopefully finishing the new record to shop around. They've said that they were getting offers at SXSW from labels but wanted to wait to finish the album. They have a gig booked in August opening for The Fray so hopefully they'll be getting some cash out of that. My Old Kentucky Blog just posted some live studio cuts of their new material and it's different from I've heard out of them before. They are stripped down, slow, and contain mostly sad lyrical content - but I have a feeling the songs will be more flushed out with the rest of the band on the actual record. Take a listen:
1. Children's Crusade On Acid
2. Untitled
3. The Ocean
