Enter to win a Halloween Alaska CD!

In celebration of its recently-released body of work titled "Champagne Downtown," Minnesota indie-pop band Halloween, Alaska is giving away one LP and two CD copies of the album here on Teen Hollywood. From the get-go, "Champagne Downtown" dares to cast off the political fixations of its native America, waxing instead on a collective psychology that pervades states of all hues. Lovers, losers and omniscient narrators alike cling dearly to a defiant, sometimes irrational optimism. Song for song, "Champagne Downtown" achieves the not-so-easy feat of being earnest without being saccharine, profound without being pretentious. As a result, you find yourself listening to the album for a fifth or fiftieth time and still discovering something new--a disarming lyric, a carefully crafted texture, an ebullient drum trill that pulses like a feathery heartbeat. It's the best-yet work of a band that knows it's giving listeners something valuable: depth, honesty, irreverence and beats you can move to in a shrinking, often superficial world.

Halloween, Alaska came together in 2002, encompassing members of such esteemed local outfits as Love-cars, 12RODS, and Happy Apple. The band self-released its eponymous debut in 2004, drawing critical praise and nationwide exposure when two tracks - "Des Moines" and "All The Arms Around You" - were featured on the Fox series, "The O.C."!
