I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness

How’s that for an awesome band name?

The blogs were all a-flutter about these guys a couple months back and I checked them out right away (mostly because of the name, I have to admit). But I was just spending this month’s emusic downloads, and they recently added I Love You But I’ve Chosen Darkness’ debut LP, Fear Is On Our Side, so I scooped it up straight away.

ILYBICD are 80s-inspired, in a The Cure / Interpol sort of way (as opposed to a Duran Duran / Killers way). I only downloaded the album about an hour ago, but I’ve been skipping through the tracks and, so far, “We Choose Faces” is the highlight. I don’t know why, so don’t ask, I just like it. Visit ILYBICD’s official site, myspace page, or if you’re a subscriber, download the album right now from emusic.
