There are a few reasons why a band might make thier entire album available on thier site for download at no charge. One could be that it is total crap and the only way to get a listen to to bait people with the free angle. Another reason would be to get the deserved exposure that many indie bands now have access to on the web and in part thanks to those in the music blog community. Well, consider The Televangelist and the Architect to be written about today for the latter reason. With a sound that nods slightly in the direction of The Decemberists, or maybe thats just the album art, and a slow lean towards Sonic Youth is also evident, leadman Jerry Chan’s passionate songwriting will take you through this album quickly and have you asking for another helping. Head on over to the bands site and download the entire album, Diaries Of The Intelligentsia, if you please, for a limited time.
