Old Canes - Early Morning Hymns
Folk-rock side-project of the lead guy from the Appleseed Cast, Chris Crisci. And very good folk-rock that comes out sounding a bit more like something from Neutral Milk Hotel's classic In The Aeroplane Over The Sea, except with the warmer and less abrasive voice of Crisci telling the stories. Maybe NMH mixed with Califone, which I guess is also kinda like the Fruitbats. But really a fine album with nods to bluegrass and folk and avant-pop and many other music forms, that comes off as refreshingly unique and hard to describe. Been realy enjoying the new Appleseed Cast
Perigrine for the last few weeks, but alwasy a treat to pull out this one. One of my favorites of the last few years. Believe the customer reviews at
amazon
, because sometimes the critics just don't seem to get it
