So we had the pleasure of seeing this band at RoSfest and two months ago at Schuba’s in chicago. To see them live with the college crowed at a small venue is really the best way to see them.
The albums could never capture the magic of their live show. Their lead singer Courtney is just flat out amazing full of timber and range. Their performances and albums are sewn together with the love of all six members.
I understand that maybe some people may not like a distinct voice as her’s but this album is really worth a few listens. Definitely a grower.
If at all possible check out this band live then buy this album.
