It's never easy to pinpoint exactly where Augie March are coming from, but it's abundantly clear where they're not. They're a band apart from the nowhere music that's everywhere and maybe a century or two removed from the desperate bang and chatter of the vapid pop/ rock zeitgeist. See, in a world gone mad with window-dressing, Augie March actually make stuff. Their albums are leather bound volumes on a shelf groaning with tatty magazines. They're the old family roast joint across the street from the plastic strip mall takeaway. Moo, You Bloody Choir is their third album. It was recorded in Melbourne, San Francisco and the band's own studio in Nagambie in country Victoria; was variously produced by Aussie legend Paul McKercher, by Captain Beefheart/ PJ Harvey/Pixies alumnus Eric Drew Feldman, and by the band themselves; and was mixed by Mark Howard (Bob Dylan). Perhaps you're still swimming in the prismatic wordplay and intriguing sonic details of their ecstatically acclaimed Sunset Studies (2000) and Strange Bird (2002) albums, but neither disposability nor immediate transparency are high among on Augie March's strengths. So sue them. Or lend an ear.
