Release Notes:

Cougar's second album, the forthcoming "Patriot," is an aggressive,
narrative affair that sees the band reach even greater extremes than on
their debut, "Law." The epic, sparkling counterpoint of the first
record crops up, but "Patriot" firmly establishes itself as a different
music, one that shreds the lines between electronic, rock and modern,
but never forgets to pay allegiance to the hook. From the nuanced drive
of opener "Stay Famous", through the widescreen propulsion of "Florida
Logic," the choral sweep and electronic/organic beats of "Rhinelander"
and the space logic of "Pelourinho," the band lay out their stall
early. The hard-rocking, polyrhythmic assault of "Thundersnow," the
fuzzed out "Heavy Into Jeff," the melodic build and final explosion of
"Endings," the summer melancholy of "Appomattox," and the Hammond-led
uplift of "Daunte v. Armada" culminates in the final beauty of
"Absaroka". It's a record which sounds completely consistent and of a
piece, yet manages to range widely across musical genres and style.
