All the reasons why you fell in love with Neutral Milk Hotel's In the Aeroplane Over the Sea are the same reasons why you should check out Hello, Dear Wind, the second offering from Baltimore's Page France. Singer/songwriter Michael Nau fronts the merrymaking collective with his boyish sweetness and spotless vocal delivery, and that alone will make your indie rock heart swoon ten times over. Nau does not pretend to be another worldly poetic troubadour wise beyond his years; everyone already knows that such a title belongs solely to Conor Oberst. Nau's music speaks for itself, and fans of the Decemberists' Colin Meloy and Richard Edwards of Margot & the Nuclear So and So's should quickly warm up to this storybook of carefully mended broken hearts and dreams of future travels. From the blushing hints of optimism of "Chariot" and "Junkyard" to chamber pop oddities such as "Elephant" and "Cindy," Hello, Dear Wind is a pure delight. Its overall presentation is absolutely majestic with its sweeping acoustic guitars and bright harmonies -- vocalist Whitney McGraw's girlish nature is a perfect match to Nau's bashful disposition on the childlike "Finders." Page France write simple songs for the daydreamer in everyone. Hello, Dear Wind will be your voice of love and luck, if you let it.
1st post. Here goes, Riding in the wake of artists like Sufjan Stevens, Page France delivers a "non secular" album that is full of simple catchy chord progressions and hooks that are sure to make the listener give them a few plays. What I like about Hello, Dear Wind Is the Lyrical precision it displays. In contrast to most Christian artists, Page France much like Sufjan writes in a beautifully ...

Page France is a dang good band. Usually bands who label themselves as Christian can tend to be pretty lame....right now there are a few exceptions: mewhithoutYou, Anathallo, Sleeping At Last, Lovedrug (all of which i saw at cornerstone fest in illinois this summer) Page France is one of those awesome Christian bands that is so good, regardless of your faith. Their music is delicate and pret...

I've been playing this album over and over...it's simple beauty has haunted my thoughts for the last month. In a day and age, when Jesus is bashed over people's heads, and presented as a stern father figure, it's so refreshing to hear songs about him dancing while we drink his wine. It's been described as campfire sing-a-long, which is true to a certain extent, more important though are the l...

A few weeks ago I did a sort of half-assed addendum to P4K’s Top 500 Songs of the Decade list wherein I mentioned a bunch of my personal favorites that did not make theirs. One song that I forgot (somehow, because it had a huge part on the playlist I made for my wedding last September) is “Chariot” from the now-defunct Page France’s (and current Cotton Jones Basket Ride) excellent 2006 alb
