The Acorn

A friend of mine mentioned that she has been checking this here website out, so these songs are especially posted to catch her interest.

The Acorn is an awful band name, but when you hear the music you'll be like, 'oh, thats kind of a good band name'. Their debut Glory Hope Mountain is a real hit or miss affair, but when they hit, they hit real hard. Take the lead single, The Flood Pt 1, an amazing 4 minutes that evokes everything from Animal Collective to Grizzly Bear, though never quite reaching that level of success. Here we see the more upbeat side of Canada's The Acorn.

Crooked Legs follows in similar fashion with experimental percussion backing a really pretty acoustic that eventually bubbles until it coalesces into horns and a rediculously good crooning by singer Rolf Klausener.

My very favorite though, is (non-album track) Dents, which exposes their song writing as truly stunning. It's no wonder it didn't make the cut, as it is easily the slowest song they've ever written, but it is here that I am most reminded of Grizzly Bear's Edward Droste. Lyrically and musically this song is not to be fucked with.

Nicole you're gonna love this, and thanks so much for having that party last night. The asparagus was delicious and I hope you enjoyed our Cordon Bleu and green beans!

Happy Birthday!
