Barcelona, 'Absolutes'

Now signed to a major label (make that the very major Universal Records), this Seattle indie rock outfit is re-releasing its 2007 album, "Absolutes," in a remastered version. Apparently Barcelona hope to have a fittingly major career, citing artists like U2, Coldplay and Death Cab for Cutie as primary influences on their piano-centric sound.
