Under the Chortling Moon

From 2023, i.e. from their forthcoming (Nov. 23) In the Black album, please enjoy obviously happening Oklahoma City quintet The Lunar Laugh and the witty and sneakily catchy lead-off track "Born Weird."

I've been listening to this song pretty much non-stop since the other day when the good folks at Big Stir Records turned me on to it. Earworm doesn't even begin to cover the thing -- imagine The Replacements meet The Hollies and then they all go out to a Golden Corral for lunch.

Seriously -- that's one of the drollest, most touching coming-of-age songs I've heard in eons, and I can't wait to check out the rest of the album.

And speaking of which -- you can pre-order said album. and find out more about the guys behind it, over at the estimable website of Big Stir HERE.

OK has given us some mighty fine Power Pop. Dwight Twilley, 20/20, The Flaming Lips and now these guys. Is it something in the water?

Terrific stuff!
Are these young guys, or old guys looking back fondly?
