This is 24 members of the 27 member group that call themselves
The Reindeer Section: in-fucking-credible, fan-indie-tastic group of musicians from Glasgow Scotland. So good are they, that I feel no remorse for having invented 2 new adjectives in the sentence prior. Their sophmore album, "
Son Of Evil Reindeer" also happens to be my favorite album for the first 9 months of 2002.
Christ its good.
I havent been so pleased by a new CD since.... well since not really that long ago. But this album really strikes a chord with me. The Reindeer Section are a "team", or "collective" of Glasgowian musicians, the

individual members of which reads like a who's who of scottish indie music. Such luminaries as
Belle and Sebastian, Idlewild, Arab Strap, Mogwai and
Teenage Fanclub all have members that contributed to this album ....... but it is Gary Lightbody from
Snow Patrol that perfoms front-man duties on most tracks, and was the drunken individual responsible for putting together this ensemble cast.
ExistAngst is listening to....
The Reindeer Section - you are my joy 192kbps, 5.1MB

The Reindeer Section - ill be here when you wake 192kbps, 4.29MB
(Do I detect some Belle and Sebastian on this track?)
