This band totally caught me by surprise. I saw the band in Oakland last month and was caught off guard at the crowds enthusiasm for the band and the songs lingered in my mind for a while but at the start of the month I picked up the album and haven't stopped listening to it since, every_single_song is top notch and the variety of instruments is a mix that I have never really heard before. Totally love this album and can't imagine not having it on hand to listen to through out the year. This is easily my soundtrack this Winter!
