An Album For the iPod Generation?

PR reports: Team Genius constructed their debut album specifically for the iPod generation, managing to channel both Prince and Magnetic Fields along the way. First single "Take Me Home" is a falsetto lovers dream. The self titled effort will be released on October 7th, 2008.

"I have been trying to go with my whims� ---- it, let's make an iPod album." This statement from Team Genius leader Drew Hermiller was the jumping off point in the creation of the band's debut full-length -- one of the most interesting and eclectic pop records of the year.

"Basically it's a reaction to the modern way music is consumed and listened to," Drew says of the disc. "The idea of an album with a focused sound and a complete statement kind of gets lost now-a-days. Everyone shuffles around, so I thought 'why not write an album that does the same thing?' Luckily, the band did an awesome job of keeping up with it." - more on this story
