Right from the panhandle of the United States, Tallahassee is home to well, I don’t know much about the city apart from it means “old town” and is the capital of Florida where I spent many winter’s as a kid growing up and only really remember that it was hot, cheesy, and the water tasted gross. If you ever find yourself in the great state of Florida, I suggest looking up the 3 chaps that make up this band, you won’t be disappointed.

One Small Step for Landmines operate on many levels, they weave threads of music that pour out of your speakers – this sounds way more huge then the 3 piece that they are. With each member taking up multiple roles within the band, they are able to capture a sound much larger then they would appear to be capable of.

It’s the kind of music you could put as a soundtrack for a Wes Anderson film, the cd packaging does a good job of reminding me of Life Aquatic. The art is similar with a big whale on the cover, but the book shows me it is actually a submarine, presumably where the band retreats to write bitchin indie records.

This band and their record makes you feel good about yourself and the choices you have recently made and they make pretty damn good music as well. If you have a big date tonight and need something to cover the sounds of intimacy, let One Small Step For Landmines steer that love boat. Hoorah!

Especially tracks “Is there anybody out there?” and “Everything’s gunna be all right”
