Thao And The Get Down Stay Down have released a new album Know Better Learn Faster. With breezy guitar riffs and occasional banjo this Indie folk band is in the same line of performers as M. Ward, but with a female lead vocalist. Lead singer Thao Nguyen was raised in Falls Church, Virginia by her mother and met her band members throughout high school and College. Thao And The Get Down Stay Down have made a total of four albums together, Like the Linen (2005), Day Trotter Sessions (2006), We Brave Bee Stings And All (2008) and their newest Know Better Learn Faster (2009). Thao And The Get Down Stay Down have produced a number of thoughtful albums that embody varying moods. Know Better Learn Faster has more of a darkly whimsical undertone that shows itself in the album’s fast paced songs and lyrics spouting things like, “What am I just a body in your body in your bed?”. The entire album has a mood separate from the older albums mentioned while feeling as though it is standing of the shoulders of came before it.
