while these boys are getting ready for album number 2, the folks at noisetrade have teamed up with fun. to give away their first album for free. well, it’s more of a pay what you want situation, but it’s a good way to get reacquainted with one of our personal collective favorite records for real cheap.
some nights drops 2/20.

i’ve already listened to it twice through, and am a hyperbole’s worth of ‘in love’ with this shit. fun.’s oft-hyped-round-these-parts, oft-delayed new effort is finally coming out next week, a mere 3 years after 2009′s aim & ignite. listen to it at soundcloud and tell us how much you love/hate it. and it’s not too late to preorder!

anthony’s parts are cool, but holy sweet mother of everything pure in the world – nate reuss makes this song his bitch.

you gotta love that fun. is getting a lot of coverage on complex mag. seems like these guys will really bust through the mainstream. and that glee bit couldn’t have hurt, either.

you know those slow motion videos on youtube of things spilling, exploding and transforming? well, fun’s video for “we are young” is the anthology of those things. cannot wait for some nights.

i pretty much all but guarantee that this album is going to be fantastic, and now you can pay a good penny for a couple of different bundles for the album. or you could just drop 8.99 + shipping on the album. or you can wait till the day it drops and pick it up for 10 bucks.
preorder:

for one day only, download a new song from fun.’s record, some nights, via nylon magazine. and if you happen to miss the deadline (midnight), then check back here later cause we don’t give a f and will post it again.
p.s. nice tuxes, gentleman.

a while ago, we posted a clip stolen from this webcast – a live performance of the gleeful “we are young.” sure enough CoS were kind enough to put the entire webcast up, which includes the interview up top, as well as performances of “we are young,” “all the pretty girls” and “walking the dog.” them good times, folks.

holler at BWC for the heads up on this one. the fun. crew took to an exclusive hour-long dealio with consequence of sound today, and due to the lack of them not having the stream up continuously, this rip shall do. i won’t mind if fun keep dropping little ditties constantly til feb. 21st.

here’s a clip of fun. performing the title track of their upcoming february album, which is equally anticipated as it is distant. seriously, nate reuss is one of the best frontmen, and these guys look like they’re havin’ a grand ol time.
