More often than not I am normally won over by music that gets stuck in my head and never leaves, so I get especially excited when it comes from something that I didn't expect it too  For example today's object of my affection, Buildings Breeding, were originally intended to be apart of tomorrow's EP but since I have caught myself humming their songs rather often over the last few days I figured they were worthy of some more in-depth analysis.  The California quartet are about to release their self titled debut full length on January 23 via Mushpot Records and I, along with what seems like most other blogs, am pretty excited.  I think that if you check out the pop-flavored songs below you will see why the group's album has quickly become one of the more anticipated of 2007.

:Buildings Breeding - Stacking Up Reasons:  In case you were wondering this is the song that inspired me to ramble about the band in a full post instead of just including them in the EP.  I absolutely love Chris Larsen's vocals and the acoustic driven music completely bowls me over every time that I listen too it.  Take a moment to sprawl out on the floor with some fancy headphones when you listen to this, I promise it will be worth the effort.

:Buildings Breeding - Stars Are Smitten:  Vintage dream-pop is an awesome way to show that you are capable of presenting a different sound so I have to give it up to the group for showing some versatility.  On the other hand the song's dreamy sound is pretty much the only difference between Stacking Up Reasons and Stars Are Smitten because Chris Larsen always seems to sound spectacular.  Once again I recommend headphones for this one.
