Considering the buzz they generated with Open Season and some of their commercial success, literally with Amazon etc. I expected more coverage and reviews of Cascades. But, nothing on Pitchfork or even Metacritic. Too bad as I think they are unique in their understated sound. In a selfish way I am glad they're not getting big but they are far more deserving of press and success. I was really pleasantly surprised they sounded so good live and I loved the more intimate moments, specifically the opening of In a Dream though I didn't get the twilight zone reference. It was beautiful, like most of their music. Cascades really adds a bolder sound yet keeps fidelity to their light touch and the previous album, quite impressive and each song from both albums can stand on it's own. One glaring omission from this concert was Fastnet. It's such a evocative closer on Cascades, I really wish they would have encored with it. It would have been stunning, in a good way.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12757054092768494293noreply@blogger.com
