Albatross started out in 2001 as a god-awful pop-punk caterpillar called Suspicious Delicious.
Thankfully, we have metamorphosis.
What was once a power chord soaked mess of a teenage emotional songwriting machine has since transformed to become something of audible maturity. After a short break, the band reemerged as a careful creature that could write songs that were both delicate and brooding, both catchy and unconventional.
It's been a little now while since that butterfly of a band has flown our way. Until then, we sit waiting.
Check out this video. It wins awards. Matter of fact, it was screened at SxSW and the Dallas AFI Film Festivals this year! See what all the fuss was about...
Be sure to drop Nouvelle Mode a line on MySpace, or check out their other great oddities on YouTube, and tell them what you think!
I was searching on YouTube for Hitchcock's "Psycho" and alas, come upon your wonderful music video. It's the best video I've seen in a long time (kudos to the dir.), and the performances are too funny. The songis not too shabby either. Good luck with everything, no doubt you all will make it big.
Sorry we couldn't make it to the last show- Jake and I were both super sick.
And, tragically, my mom and I made plans yesterday for this Saturday night. :(

You guys were great (of coarse) Thursday night!!! I couldn't think of three better bands to put together!
What time do you go on Fri night? I close that night, but I'm going to try my best to make it before you go on! Its gonna be a big show for you guys, I think!
