I <3 Corto Maltese

It's still a mystery as to how Corto Maltese have managed to stay clear of any 'next-big-thing' buzz that the music press rains down upon practically any band that have at least one catchy song.

Based in Austin TX, the band are still unsigned with one self released EP just released and a full length release expected later in the year. They certainly have the blessing of still having all the time they need without any pressure or backlash potential to ruin them before they've even really begun.

It's still early days but favourable comparisons to the Arcade Fire, mostly thanks to the outright brilliant track 'Providence', might just yet make indiedom spontainiously combust.

Since I'm moving to Austin this July it's going to be of particular interest/excitement for me to watch their progress and I'll definately report back as more developments happen.
