I wish I could have given this CD 4.5 stars. I absolutely love it. I was unfamiliar with SOTAF prior to hearing them at SXSW. Their performance was very moving, and the recorded representation is equally beautiful. I had read a few reviews that compared them to other bands that I like, but was surprised at who they actually made me think of after hearing the CD.
Simon and Garfunkel.
Yeah, that's right. The vocals reminded me a lot of classic S&G harmonies.
Hello darkness my new friend :)
There isn't really any need to mention various other bands that their music may remind you of. Just know that all of those other bands are great.
This CD is a wonderful listen. Very powerful in all the right places. It's kinda dark (in a good way), kind of peaceful, and full of imagery.
I got the CD, plus a t-shirt, for .05 (yes, five cents) off of a well know online auction website. Plus shipping (which was still an insane deal).
Although some of my friends/bandmates don't share my love for this CD.....they're all lame, pretentious dorks.....so I feel confident in my declaration.
Being a guitarist, I love the guitar work on this CD. It is soaring in places and minimal in others. Quite tasteful in my humble opinion.
