I’ve long suspected there’s something in the water around Athens, Georgia.

Some music gets you right away. The best music keeps coming back to you. Time will tell if Futurebirds are a band that resonate with me down the line, but they certainly got my attention from the first hit. They do the kind of country rock I love-a little bit cosmic, expansive, full of soul and noise.

Opener Via Flamina is my favourite here. It’s the peyote kicking in as you sip your fourth mojito while watching the sun go down, it’s watching it all all open up, and it’s knowing everything is going to be quite alright.

I like what’s happening in Back Half. Ingenious little bit of invention to break up this EP. What movie is the dialogue from? Whoever can tell me get’s a BCH coffee cup (pending design and production).

This week I’ve found myself listening to a lot of Loud Valley. I adore the track Pensacola. It kneads about on your insides like a little cat settling down to nest, all soft and warm. Before you know it it’s purring away,  those beautiful horns and Appalachian harmonies reverberating within your very soul. In a word:delicious. Savour it.
