Head of Femur- To Release Great Plains March 25th
January 24, 2008 
Band members Matt Focht, Mike Elsener, Eathan Janney, Colby Starck, and Nick “The Chancellor” Westra have decided to release their long anticipated third record at the end of March, just in time for my birthday. Great Plains is the product of a new ethos developed by the band. While still maintaining their signature style, Head of Femur have challenged themselves to delve deeper into their collective being to make a record that has all the musicality and pop-art sensibility of their former incarnations, each member putting forth more of themselves to achieve with ten hands what was once attempted by forty.
This in no way means that I expect Great Plains to sound like previous albums. I do expect Head of Femur to be forward thinking in their effort. That being said, Head of Femur does represent something. They have a deliberate weirdness, an innate sense of melody, and they stay ahead of the curve that independent music tends to follow. Their new material may be “striped down” but not in the sense that it has been derogatively reduced. Indeed I would describe the move as a refinement process. So go to Schubas people! I can’t wait to review the record and wish I could be there for the show…
