Fresh Tracks: Bleu

I should have know that week's flurry of powerpop related posts was just setting the stage for Bleu's new album "Four" which was finally released this week.

This album definitely contains some instant classics ... "Singin' in Tongues", "B.O.S.T.O.N." and "Dead in the Mornin'" in particular stand out.  A few others aren't quite instant classics, but have hooked me in after a couple of listens, including "I'll Know It When I See It", "In Love With My Lover", and "My Own Personal Jesus".

Most of the album is streaming at http://bleutopia.com/.

If you like Bleu, I'd also recommend "Air Traffic Controller", whose album was produced by Bleu. Check it out here:  http://www.musicoftheday.com/2010/10/fresh-tracks-air-traffic-controller.html

And with that said, here are a few of the highlights from "Four" ... in great low-budget BleuTeub format ...







And as a bonus, here's a classic from Bleu's 2003 debut ...
