Absolutely Fantastic Debut

The debut release for the Brooklyn-based indie/folk/Americana band is special. I tried to describe it to a friend the other day and my verbal review kind of came out like this: "it sounds kind of like hybrid of Grant Lee Buffalo (nee Grant Lee Phillips), Bon Iver, Blitzen Trapper's folkier stuff...but with the lyricism of Josh Ritter."

In other words, it's REALLY freaking good.

Although every song on the EP is exceptional, I would highlight "Down in the Willow Garden" (a great reimagining of a very dark traditional folk song), "Further North" (you can feel the sparse desperation in lead singer Paul Basile's voice in this one), and the absolute high point "Vibrations" (a wonderful song from all perspectives - musically, vocally, lyrically, etc.).

A snippet of incredible lyrics:

"It's just vibrations and air
passing through my teeth
And it's all inert
no, don't mind me
It's a waste of air
a waste of heat
To be taciturn
might comfort me"

Buy this now.
