MP3: Hyacinth House - New day arising
Once again I'm posting a track from Hyacinth House. I was mightily impressed by the three-song sampler the band sent me awhile back, but now I've got the full album and can confirm that it's a stunner. I had it solid repeat for a week after I got it before I realized I needed to lay off before I got burnt out. The music is classic Americana with a touch of darkness ala 16 Horsepower/Will Oldham and I think I also hear a touch of 70s rock in the mix. There's a number of parts that remind of (gasp!) Led Zeppelin, but not the heavy-rock parts - no no no, I'm talking about the acoustic/bluesy stuff. But there's another reason why I'm posting about Hyacinth House again today. It seems I got sent two copies of the new CD, so I've got one to give away. You want it? Email contest at itsatrap dot com with the subject line "Hyacinth House". Enter now because I'll be announcing the winner tomorrow morning (that's Tuesday AM Pacific Time, in case you were wondering).
