Daily Track: Engineers - "Home" (theme from HBO's Big Love)

Monday, February 1, 2010 at 12:36PM

Email this...

An odd turn of events for U.K. indie shoe-gaze popsters Engineers. First, the band finds out that the song "Home" from their eponymous 2005 debut album is selected as the new theme song for the HBO's fine "Big Love" series. Then, just today, creative lead Mark Peters announces today that he and Simon Phipps will carry with the Engineers minus two supporting band members (don't ask why there are only three faces featured in the band's press shots). We won't even get into why their 2009 album Three Fact Fader still has no U.S. label or physical distribution (does that even matter any more?).
