Baumer posted up a new track on their MySpace titled “In Your Stead”. It’s huge and epic. This album is already in my Top Records of 2008 and I haven’t even heard it yet. The new record will be titled Were It Not For You and will come out on Eyeball Records.

Stream the new Ingrid Michaelson CD on VIRB.com or I’ll kick your skinny, bearded ass.
