Use Your Time Wisely

• Track Listing

It's only been a few months since Strange Names landed in New York City (originally from Minneapolis), but the time for this daring pop trio has most definitely come. Now, this triumvirate of twenty-somethings-Fletcher Aleckson, Francis Ximenez and Liam Benzvi- release Use Your Time Wisely, a firecracker debut LP jammed with energetic, angular, romantic songs that sound at once ageless and completely contemporary. The band recorded Use Your Time Wisely at The End in Brooklyn, New York, with producer Andrew Maury (Ra Ra Riot), and found the sort of sound they think best fits their music. What they ended up with was a collection of driving songs that are deceptively simple, raucously compelling and defiantly youthful.
