Details:
Emotional Philosophy is Laconia Corporation's most diverse album, yet, both in subject matter and style. From the flat-out-mushy-assed love song Lullaby, to the rockin' Contradictory Girl, to the plaintive Darkness at Noon (yes, we have read the book - no connection - just liked the title), to the angry What Do I Get?, we spread our wings even farther than usual.

Like the last release, Still Life With Llamas, this album contains a mix of both old and new material. A few of the songs, like the title track, date back 15 or more years. Some of the songs, like Blue Steel, are so new that the lyrics were penned literally hours before the first vocal tracks were recorded.

If you're not sure what to try first (and we would greatly appreciate you giving a few song snippets a spin), take the Emotional Philosophy questionnaire:

1) I want to feel the energy: So Let It Go.
2) I like title tracks: Emotional Philosophy.
3) I wanna rock (and don't mind bad grammar, either): Contradictory Girl.
4) I am wistful for what could be: Out of Time.
5) I am bitter and proud of it: What Do I Get?
6) I am more than vaguely fatalistic: Revelations.
7) I am depressed: Darkness at Noon.
8) I have a thing for Katrina and the Waves: Another Day.
9) I like songs that seem to be about controlled substances (but are really not): Blue Steel.
10) I am not depressed, but want to be: The Hurt.
11) I love to dis the yuppie lifestyle (even though I may be living it my self): What Is It (You Do)?
12) I am looking for a song for my girlfriend/boyfriend to be âour songâ: Lullaby.
