Ted Leo & The Pharmacists: One Polaroid A Day

Ted Leo and the Pharmacists New AlbumTed Leo and his merry band of Pharmacists have a new record on the, uh, “shelves”.

This one goes by the name of The Brutalist Bricks and features a catchy ditty with a photography theme: “One Polaroid a Day”.

A few lyrics:

One Polaroid a day, perfect in every single way
Anchor in a winding ley …

But in the time it takes you to turn your cameras on
You can keep on clicking but the moment’s gone
You are your own worst enemy

Have a listen to this “instantly” likable tune below. Mr. Leo & Co. are currently on tour; for more info check out tedleo.com and the always zany @tedleo.
