 <title>Mates of State: Re-Arrange Us</title>
 <link>http://excellentonline.com/story/mates-state-re-arrange-us-2108</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Far from the runaway-mine-car frenzy that defined some of their early work, the husband-and-wife duo of Kori Gardner and Jason Hammel opt for slower tempos, multi-instrumental arrangements, and overdubbed harmonies on their fifth full-length. - &lt;a href=&quot;http://feeds.pitchforkmedia.com/~r/pitchfork/today/~3/291527608/50547-re-arrange-us&quot;&gt;Source&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>London Heatwave or Crimewave?</title>
 <link>http://excellentonline.com/story/london-heatwave-or-crimewave-939</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Indiepop couple &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.matesofstate.com&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mates of State&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; apparently ran into a bit of bad luck in London last week. According to a post by Kori on the band&#039;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.matesofstate.com/bbs&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;bulletin board, Jason&#039;s suitcase was stolen in London. Along with all of  his clothes, the band also lost their money, passports, phone and more. :-( I&#039;m assuming by this time the passport situation has been resolved so that they may continue their European tour, but if anyone is planning on attending any of the remaining European tourdates, Kori  has a request, &quot;Please bring an article of clothing to the shows over here.... I think it&#039;d be great if he collected clothes along the way instead of buying more grocery store blouses like he has on today.&quot;  &lt;/p&gt;
