It seems to be a trend now that the early pillars of indie rock are picking up the axes and making things happen once again. That holds true for Versus – who after about 10 years of silence will release their latest album On the One’s and Threes. We’ll let you be the judge who decides if they’ve still got it.

Download the first track off the album, Invincible Hero, or you can stream the album for a limited time. The album will be released on August 3rd, 2010.

On the Ones and Threes is something of a return to form, featuring the reappearances of original member Edward Baluyut, and engineer Nicolas Vernhes (Animal Collective, Deerhunter, Cat Power, Spoon) who worked on Secret Swingers and Two Cents Plus Tax.
