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 Rong>Hyacinth HouseRong>. 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.
