It's no secret that we here at HAD are suckers for anything Broken Social Scene related, but Apostle Of Hustle hold a special place in our hearts. The Andrew Whiteman-fronted side project is undoubtedly one of the most prolific and impressive BSS side projects. What's more, they play an amazing live show, largely propelled by Whiteman's always-in-your-face stage presence.

Given all that, we were psyched to hear that the band has a new record entitled Eats Darkness set to drop on May 19th. What's more, the band has released an initial mp3 from the record for your listening pleasure. If there's a tour announcement, it'll be a musical awesomeness trifecta!

The mp3, entitled "Perfect Fit", is definitely one of the more abstract entries into the Apostle catalog - the vocals are more spoken than sung, and the arrangement is a sparse percussion/bass combo, with other blips and bloops weaving their way throughout the tune. To be frank, it reminds us more than a little of some Think Tank era Blur, and that's definitely a good thing. More than anything, it seems that Whiteman and crew are definitely pushing the artistic and creative envelope - we can't wait to hear what that means for the whole record!
