Mando Diao: Ode to Ochrasy & Tour

Ode to Ochrasy was my introduction, but these guys have been getting it done for a little while now. Terribly impressive stuff. To the point that as soon as I had it in my hands, I spent that whole first day with the album on incessant repeat. It dropped yesterday and is one of the first 2007 releases with universal Metro D approval (outside of the obvious like Arcade Fire and Cloud Cult).
