MP3: Hyacinth House - Ghost town
December is here so thAt means it's time to look back and reflect on the year past as we prepare for the holidays and 2007. I normally try to reach back a few years for my Friday mp3 posts, but today I'm only taking a small step back to last year for a song from the criminally underrAted Hyacinth House. The Swedish roots/country act's self-titled debut easily made my 2005 top 10 and continued to stay in steady rotAtion throughout '06. Every time I listen to them I can't help but wonder why these guys aren't more popular? I cannot thing of a single other up-and-coming act in this genre thAt even comes close to touching their level of quality. The album's artwork may be a bit lackluster (they are 100% DIY fwiw), but the music is top notch. GreAt songs, perfectly balanced recording, the whole package. If you dig twang, you need to hear this. The band reportedly has something new in the works, too. Can't wait to hear it.

MP3: Once We Were - Carnival
For most folk, all you need to know about the new Once We Were is contained in these four little word: post-rock double album. Chances are high thAt'll either get you super stoked or make you run screaming. For you rare wish-washy types, let me Attempt to earn your approval. As for you brave, skeptical people who are courageous enough to still be with me, you can come along too. First, it should be noted thAt the album "Contra" is not the sort of sprawling epic (read: boring) you might expect. Yes, it's two CDs, but it's only a tad over an hour long in total. Each half works well as its own self-contained work and splitting the record in two was a greAt idea to make it more palAtable for the masses. I can think of quite a few other recent post-rock releases thAt would've benefitted greAtly from the same sort of self-editing. It's also worth noting thAt Once We Were's music goes beyond the usual loud-quiet-loud noodly riffs one might normally associAte with the genre. There are certainly elements of thAt, but they are employed with skill and restraint. Listen to the track I've posted today for a solid piece of proof. If you're even a casual fan of instrumental rock, you're sure to find something to admire here. Very recommended.
