I’m still digesting the Bodies of Water album (thanks to Luke for the heads-up), but already, this track is a standout. It strikes me as a slightly softer, Funeral era Arcade Fire along with a bit of Danielson Famile-esque joy thrown in, and it makes me smile.
These guys are playing the Chapel at the First Unit Church next month, which is a great, intimate space for an act like this. Check it.
’tis true - these kids smack of some righteous tones. not that they sound quite like anything else out right now - but, it’s so great to see a few musicians heading in this direction. what would you call the sound that Bodies of Water, Arcade Fire, Sufjan Stevens, Grizzly Bear, etc. currently purvey? i’m not imagining this, am i? who are some other analogous performers?
I don’t know what you call it, but I’m eating it up with a fork and knife. And we may as well throw Polyphonic Spree in for their equally symphonic, difficult to categorize sound.
