Occasionally, the quality of an entire album can be overshadowed by a single, excellent track. “Equestrian” (
mp3) is the kind of song that can have that dominating presence — it’s that good — however, the rest of the tracks off of
Mirrors hold their own and make up one hell of a rocking album. At times, such as on the laid back, summary “Vacation, Vacation,” the D.C. based, indie folk rock outfit sounds like a harder rocking, less delicate Fleet Foxes, while tracks like “Monte Carlo” (
mp3) infuses 70s classic rock harmonies and vibe that echos of Fleetwood Mac, minus the female vocals. It is also hard not to love the soft falsetto chorus on “Fool To Love (Like I Do)” and they way the plugged in "Hollywood Hollows" slinks and struts, its cheery chorus contrasting with the darker riffs. Good stuff.
Pick up this awesome album on January 25.

I like cheery. Plus I like you.
Thanks, JB. Welcome back to the States.
Finally, some West Coast tour dates:
03.02.11 - Tractor Tavern - Seattle, WA
03.03.11 - Mississippi Studios - Portland, OR
03.05.11 - Rickshaw Shop - San Francisco, CA
03.06.11 - The Satellite - Los Angeles, CA
Rickshaw STOP, eh? Starting at the bottom I see. That's cool. More affordable for me. Too bad they are not headlining.
Yeah, and I haven't heard anything by the Broken Records. You?
I like that Equestrian song, it is really good.
This is one of those albums that shot up my favorite list after seeing them live. They were amazing.
