Ah, Sub Pop Records. I'm willing to overlook the Nirvana and the Soundgarden for The Shins, Flight of the Conchords, Postal Service, and the Band of Horses.
I know I had heard BoH before, but I didn't get interested in them until a mate sent me this video (it's like parkour on a bike, and makes anything I've ever accomplished in my life look absolutely pathetic and amateurish by comparison). The lead vocals remind me a lot of The Shins, and I don't care what Aaron says. Listen to Track 2-Wicked Gil and tell me there's nothing there.
It's an album that I can pretty much listen to any time (All The Time?), but by favourites tend to vacillate depending on my mood. I'm a big fan of tracks 2 (Wicked Gil), 4 (The Funeral), 6 (The Great Salt Lake), and 9 (Monsters).

Didn't I post a comment on this? I guess it didn't take.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I agree with Nate. BoH is best on their "big sound" songs.
