They have an organic Talking Heads sound and the album continues to grow on me - I love the sentiment behind their album Glory Hope Mountain also, written to tell the story of Rolf's mother who was abused as a child and fled a turbulent Honduras.

The Flood Pt.II was my favorite....it takes me to the same place as some of the tunes from "Reckoning" (a sweet Grateful Dead live acoustic album - IMO) I think all the songs have legs though. I love the way that "Crooked Legs" and "Flood Pt.I" have this swelling dynamic toward the end. The band has a really great sense of dynamic control...never giving it all away until the right moment. I really dig their musical style, their songs and their attitude. They rolled in, we setup quickly (6 musicians) and an hour later we had 5 songs in the bag. Very positive, very pro. I just regret not being able to make their show at the Empty Bottle later that night....would have been fun to see a full set and enjoy a few beers together. Next time! Big thumbs up and thank you to The Acorn! This was a really fantastic session.
