rather ambitious project at 1hr 20min
but it works
3rd album
every instrument you can think of here
kudos to the horns
I get an Edward Sharpe band feel
can't pin down the vocalist though

single I think

I guess the playing is well executed and all that, but this kind of music does nothing for me. There was a whole bunch of bands about ten years ago that had a similar kind of sound - the Spin Doctors is one that I recall. Third Eye Blind was another.

The other thing that bothers me here is that there is a total mismatch between the singer's voice and the visual image Somehow a high chirping voice does not fit with a leather-clad Wild West image.

I listened to the album....
started off okay for the first three or four tracks,
then became too much of a muchness after that...

I like the album cover - different. Will listen to the music later.

Nahko is Apache Indian Jerome,
I think the album would fit in the "world music" type genre if we had one.....
