Great music at a better price
I And Love And You - $5 I first saw the Avett Brothers at Floyd Fest a few years back when they closed the festival playing at what is no doubt the best stage, Hill Holler. I was first taken aback by their raw energy on stage, unable to grasp what was going on behind all the screaming and breaking of strings. Punk with bluegrass instruments doesn't really do these guys justice, however. Sit down with their latest studio release and you shouldn't be alarmed to think you're listening to another band entirely. A stripped down title track leads into January Wedding and Head Full of Doubt, all showcase that the brothers are at the top of their craft. Kick Drum Heart starts upping the ante and culminates in the albums best; Slight Figure of Speech. If this track doesn't get your feet tapping and head bobbing at the first chord you have no soul.
All Delighted People EP - $5 - I've already written a bit about Sufjan Stevens here. The All Delighted People EP seems to have been released to bring Sufjan's name back up just before the release of his first full length album since 2005's Illinoise; The Age of Adz. You can hear an early track here from Adz, it sounds bat-shit insane.
darn it, you just made me buy another album on iTunes. These guys are brilliant, and indeed, my head starting bobbing after listening to these boys. I hope you get commission.
ReplyDeletePayback time ... soon, once I find a suitable album.
Do you like heavy metal by any chance?
I will if you find me something i'll like. Saw these guys live and they rocked my face off.
ReplyDeleteBoth of these guys are fantastic!
