Fans of the Eels, Okkervil River, The Robot Ate Me and Pedro the Lion will find much to love in the debut release by Throw Me the Statue. Expansive indie folk that pulses with computerized rhythms, fuzzy guitars, thrift shop synthesizers and electronic flourishes throughout, Moonbeams is delightfully eclectic. The bedroom recordings of Scott Reitherman, TMTS lyrics deal far more openly with sexuality than one usually finds in indie-rock; the songs are wistful and seem to come from actual experiences rather than abject longing and overactive imaginations. Reitherman's rich and slightly quavery falsetto enhances the narratives within his story songs. Moonbeams is among the great, quiet, discoveries of 2008. --Mike McGonigal
