'Five Roses'
Wow. One of those albums that just draws you in and makes you remember why you love music so much. 'Five Roses' is a delicious noise pop cocktail w/ couple of spritzes of Yo La Tengo and a twist of Brian Wilson. Sweeping layers of sounds and orchestration that hits you like a feather, but ultimately knocks you on your ass. A lot of stuff going on musically, so each time you listen you hear something new...and the album gets better and better.
Even cooler is the fact is it's all performed by one guy (Van Pelt) ala Sufjan Stevens, but (IMO) even better. Put this album into your headphones, lay down outside on the lawn and watch the sun come up...or watch it go down for that matter. It's that kind of soundtrack and you can get a taste via the tune 'Maybe Lately' in the AMBFAD sample box to the right. It's out and avail wherever you normally find your favorite albums of more indie ilk (iTunes, for example). Smiley smile, kids.
