The Deaths Post New Old Music

Speaking of Minneapolis bands and live music, psych-pop devotees The Deaths have posted two new songs on their MySpace Page, one of which is a performance that was taped at the Current earlier this year. That song is the waltz "Turn for the Worst", which finds the band at its most pop-filled, with a sound that is redolent of the 60s (particularly mid-period Beatles). The Deaths also posted the demo of "Revolution" (no relation to Chairman Mao or the number 9), a tension-filled, but more laid-back as well, psychdelic number with a sighing keyboard line much like MBV.

Listen to both songs here.
