ted leo is nothing if not consistent and i appreciate about him and his music. there is no need to switch up the formula when whatever it is you do, you do exceptionally well? thus is the case regarding mr leo’s upcoming release, the brutalist bricks which is due out on matador on 3.9. if you like ted leo, you will dig this, if not, well, thats on you. he’s doing some touring and holy shit he’s coming to new orleans on april 2 at one eyed jacks.
