The Deep Dark Woods have quickly become a favorite of mine, their folk-speckled tones conveying a weighty influence from, and parallels to, the sound made popular by The Band. This HearYa session with the rootsy, Canadian quintet aptly displays the group's depth on a number of delightful traditional songs and covers.
This documentary needs to be released, I want very much for this to happen, it would be a fascinating viewing.
Only recently exposed to the fluid rippling of the synth-driven debut album Forget from Twin Shadow, this Daytrotter session was a perfect compliment.
When Frightened Rabbit swept into town this past October, one of the opening acts was The Phantom Band, whose sophomore album The Wants was reviewed this week on Pitchfork. Also available is the group's 2009 debut Checkmate Savage.
Matt Vasquez of Delta Spirit, Taylor Goldsmith of Dawes, and Deer Tick’s John McCauley are Middle Brother. There is not all that much else to write about this teaming of talents, with the rustic artistry of the members' individual groups being quite discernible on recent albums. If the two tracks posted on Crawdaddy hold any indication of the trio's prospective, their forthcoming album should be rousing and foot-stomping, but not without equal parts rumination and wistful pining for the past.
