Minneapolis duo, that's right, duo. Amazing folk/psych/rock album, and I guess I will repeat that all of these noises are made by only two people!! Anyway, great album, very very pretty.
RIYL: The Head and The Heart, Built to Spill, tUnE yArDs
FCC Clean!
1. (3:35) Through Trees (Part I) - Very pretty, whispy vocals, digresses into a momentary jam free for all at the end.
2. (3:40) Once Branches - Indecipherable echoes at the beginning, polyphonic rhythm, gorgeous layering of vocals.
3. (4:50) Boarding Fare - More traditional instrumentation: acoustic guitar and piano. Builds by 1:20ish to a great uptempo jam.
4. (5:50) We've Been Missing - More dream like feel to this down tempo track, tempo picks up as the song goes on and then drops down again at the end.
5. (6:17) More Over Forward - Nearly silent for the first 15 seconds...down tempo again but with really cool rhythmic guitar parts and interesting/weird sounds throughout.
6. (2:32) Through Trees (Part II) - etherial feel at the beginning, but at 0:53 turns into a rock track with heavy hitting drums and more layered voices.
