Eef the Big Loser

Eef Barzelay is no stranger to these parts, poking up here, here, here, and here. His long-awaited follow-up to 2006's stellar Bitter Honey is finally released and I'm here to spoon it into your ear. In short, he's a curious indie artiste with impeccable pop sensibility. He'll slip you the tongue when you least expect it. You know what I mean? He'd totally do that and you'd totally like it.

And honestly, Rolling Stone put him as perfectly as it can be done in the following quote:
"Lyrically, he can be as cool as jazz, as earnest as folk, as sorrowful as country, as goofy as pop and as ironic as indie rock, sometimes all in one song."
