The Swell Season: Anti- Records
Seeing these guys live was amazing last year. If you buy the Deluxe Version you get a full live set as played at the Riverside Theater in Milwaukee plus a DVD of the concert.

"Once" Again
The new Swell Season album "Strict Joy" was released this Tuesday. Another Anti- record label product. On just the first listen, this already sounds like a great album. The songs have a flavor ranging from 60s singer-songwriter duets to 80s electric synth-pop. Solid throughout and the arrangements are beautiful. Listen to the ballad "In These Arms" streamed on the Anti- website.

I gotta say, my first impression of this album was that it doesn't knock my socks off. I only got about halfway through before I had to switch to something else. Maybe it'll be a grower, but so far not into it, which is affecting my decision on whether to spring for tickets for their upcoming PDX show.
ReplyDeleteTheir live show will only make you like the album that much more. Amazing live performers. Don't let a studio album prevent you from seeing them. You won't want to miss it. He does some spoken word and storytelling during the show which is great and keeps the audience engaged the entire time. Don't miss it, especially if they are playing at a good venue.
