The opening track gives me chills, I don't mean the first song either, I mean the first track. If I wasn't afraid of offending religious persons, I would say it was a call to worship. Its whispering shhh ... we are going to listen to music now. This album is my first exposure to Zach Condon. Condon starting making music at 15. He is now 20 and has a number of albums. I've started to go through his back catalog, but for now I am listening to his current album "The Flying Club Cup". This album has a great old timey feel. Condon's voice gives this album a unique stamp. For a better idea listen to his music. The slow and subtle motifs , remind me of Sufjan Stevens, it might also be the use of horns. Is it just me or horns becoming a thing, I am going to investigate that more in another post. For now just listen to horns I think they make this album stand out. The music feels like its from another time. He uses many instruments I don't hear on a regular basis. Like I here a loot , maybe what does a loot sound like. Horns definitely, I hear an accordion, I'll bet their is a harmonica somewhere too. Anyway the eclecticness of the instrumentation , opens the range of the music so as to not bore, but stay within a predetermined theme. I wouldn't even know what that theme is olden times I don't know. Check this album out though, to me its unique and will stay on my pallet for a long time.
