My camera, light-devouring, ISO-hungry beast that it is, refused to play nice at the Acorn 's Oct. 24 Spaceland show. But luckily you can get more than a taste of the band's invigorating folk thanks to the LaundroMatinee , who just captured four songs from the Ottawa act. As on their recordings, the Acorn play with clean, well-woven arrangements, becoming more forceful live without dirtying their songwriting. The songs of their debut, Glory Hope Mountain , thump and step in South American rhythms (and the story of singer Rolf Klausener's mother, Gloria Montanya Esperanza) even as their melodies soar in Bono-esque ascent. Glory Hope Mountain beat out Iron & Wine's percussion-minded The Shepherd's Dog on last year's albums list ; the precocious Acorn are not quite there yet live, but as you can see, they're well on their way.
