Oddly enough, I just got sent an mp3 of theirs. I shall download and judge.

No idea what you're talking about. ;-)

Anyway, the song is called "The Funeral." Opens nicely but dude's voice, I dunno. Kinda Chicago/REO Speedwagon covers Sigur Ros. (Arcade Fire, in otherwards ;-) ). When all the band kicks in it's nice enough but the singer isn't working for me.

The My Morning Jacket Copyright Infringement Office isn't happy about this album, but I am. "Funeral" is beautiful and "Great Salt Lake" is too, for very different reasons.

man, i swear i am the ONLY one who doesn't get the MMJ similarity

yep. you are. listen to "I Go to the Barn..." one more time.

Good, not great. The real gem: "Our Swords".

I would really like to be impressed by a new indie-ish guitar band, but really has anyone been less distinctive than these guys? Writing every song at midtempo is not the way to my heart.

― Sean Braudis (Sean Braudis), Saturday, 8 April 2006 18:27 (7 years ago) Permalink

musically and sonically a lot like Tristeza...and Sean is OTM about the midtempo disease...vocals are like a less excitable wayne coyne...booo.

Too derivative to really make an impact. It's "nice".

"Funeral" is the most recent Song Of The Day on KEXP's podcast of the same name. The feed URL is here.

Oh dear. Are people that desperate for overly determined/presumed depth? I'm seriously annoyed at this song.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 9 April 2006 05:37 (7 years ago) Permalink

Don't you think that Great Lake Swimmers sounds A LOT more like My Morning Jacket? I sure do.

― Clipper (D.J.), Sunday, 9 April 2006 20:11 (7 years ago) Permalink

My Morning Jacket = OTM

I'm a little disappointed by the album's overwhelming sense of samey-ness. However "Funeral" is one of the year's better singles thusfar, one of the few things so far this year that, if it didn't knock my socks off, definitely opened the velcro closures on my Keds and gave me a hard shove to the solar plexus.

I enjoy this album, but not as much as the new Centro-Matic album.

― Dan Floss (Dan Floss), Sunday, 9 April 2006 21:12 (7 years ago) Permalink

A little My Morning Jacket, a little Shins, but none of the quirky goodness that makes those bands fun to listen to. Dud.

Funeral song reminds me a lot of Red House Painters. in general their sounds comes from 10 yrs ago it seems.

― SusanD, Tuesday, 29 May 2007 06:34 (5 years ago) Permalink

woops- their sound

― SusanD, Tuesday, 29 May 2007 06:36 (5 years ago) Permalink

i think i only like the voice. atleast in funeral they use every instrument as a drum? and just bang-away weird controlled melodrama.

― SusanD, Tuesday, 29 May 2007 07:53 (5 years ago) Permalink

"The Funeral's" a great single, but you know it sounds really sounds like?

At least Ned's consistent :-)

― rogermexico., Tuesday, 29 May 2007 16:51 (5 years ago) Permalink

also, is it ok to sound like perry farrell in 2007? i think so.

― SusanD, Tuesday, 29 May 2007 20:02 (5 years ago) Permalink

i tried to listen to this again the other day and i still can't stand it.

They have a new single, "Is There a Ghost." I was surprised by how bad it is. But my opinion of the first album has fallen, as well. I think the only really good thing about it is the sound, as in the production, and the timbre of everything. It's a pleasant sound, but none of the songs are great. But this new one sounds totally substanceless.

I couldn't even get halfway through it. And I liked the first album.

― kornrulez6969, Thursday, 30 August 2007 15:52 (5 years ago) Permalink

WRONG ST3VE GOLDB3RG! If you like Amelie and Dave Matthews, then you will LOVE "Is There a Ghost?" It's on some pre-Swayze, Britpop obsession with Kangols shit, but it's Juan Glaze fho sho. Maybe you should take a tip from the king Eddie Winslow and lock yourself in a screening room for an entire year drinking your own urine. That'll teach you to respect the spirit of Bridwell (I bet you probably have a poster of Seth Green on your wall, but that's neither here nor there...)

Saw these guys again last week.

Uniformly brilliant when playing album tracks, but the set sagged big time half-way through when they launched into their "new stuff" and promptly turned into CSN&Y. 'Alt-country' without the 'alt', unfortunately.

So this is the band that whenever I hear them makes me think of a harder-rocking Shins.

― Cunga, Thursday, 12 November 2009 05:17 (3 years ago) Permalink

It's the guys voice - but it's weird that Coyne and Farrel seem equally appropriate as comparisons

― Cunga, Thursday, 12 November 2009 05:20 (3 years ago) Permalink

it's all about "st. augustine"

i love this album

BOH fans should check for the new band signed to sub pop called Avi Buffalo

it's streaming this week. not many hooks, but i like that reverb-y southern gothic vibe with layered vocals drenched in echo. i've never paid attention to this band before. this disc reminds me of my-morning-jacket from a few years ago (with fewer hooks, and maybe weaker melodies . . . but still pretty good!).

― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 13 May 2010 18:40 (3 years ago) Permalink

all you need is Z imo

― my baby's got the bans (ksh), Thursday, 13 May 2010 18:41 (3 years ago) Permalink

i like the discs before and (to a lesser extent) after Z, too.

― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 13 May 2010 18:44 (3 years ago) Permalink

which are your favorites, Daniel? i strongly disliked Evil Urges, and only listened to part of the one w/ "One Big Holiday" on it iirc

― my baby's got the bans (ksh), Thursday, 13 May 2010 18:47 (3 years ago) Permalink

z or it still moves are my favorites.

― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 13 May 2010 19:52 (3 years ago) Permalink

awesome

― my baby's got the bans (ksh), Thursday, 13 May 2010 19:52 (3 years ago) Permalink

they perfected that reverb-y vibe on it still moves, but the melodies are stronger and there's much more inventiveness on z so it's hard to choose.

― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 13 May 2010 19:54 (3 years ago) Permalink

yeah, i haven't listened to much of It Still Moves, but I love Z

― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 13 May 2010 19:58 (3 years ago) Permalink

thanks Daniel -- good song

― my baby's got the bans (ksh), Thursday, 13 May 2010 21:39 (3 years ago) Permalink

i'm crushing on this album more-and-more.

i'm a pescetarian, but in music, sometimes i need meat-and-potatoes. and this is it: big, sweeping choruses with echo reverberating off the vocals and through the woods, a sound big enough to fill a stadium, and a southern-vibe that reminds me of a dozen bands from the seventies -- eighties. i love this, and i've had absolutely no interest whatsoever in this band up to now.

Okay, so the Pitchfork review is pretty dead on and this newest album is mostly terrible. HOWEVER, the bonus disc of the Sonic Ranch Sessions EP is really pretty good. Each of the five tracks on that are easily better than 85% of the album proper and I'm stunned that none of them were included on the album proper. I'm not sure if this was a label decision or what, but it was a head-smackingly dumb decision.
