Priory :: "Lady Of Late"

This is good news for people who love Good News For People Who Love Bad News. It's even better news for people who love "The Good Times Are Killing Me" from the aforementioned Modest Mouse record from the summer of 2004. Priory, a Portland, Oregon four-piece, have a dark little single, "Lady Of Late" with a plinking second movement. Giving way slowly to more bombast, the centerpiece of the song is the same vaguely didactic, down-tempo lyrics that made Isaac Brock so famous that he was sampled in a top 40 rap song. Priory, we assume doesn't refer to the a priori justifications of the world of philosophy, but there is something about this that feels known, given and already great.
