Artist: The Acorn Album: Glory Hope Mountain Release Date: Label: Bella Union Link: www.myspace.com/theacorn It's hard to be angry with a band like the Acorn. Bands that forage with such light tonal rhythms, whispering through tracts of wide-open expanse with the aid of plucky guitars and twinkling vocals - it all makes it so difficult to bear grudges. It's that [...]

Track:
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...

New Acorn Video - "Crooked Legs"

Artist:
We first loved the Acorn's "Crooked Legs " in September 2007, and this video just goes to show it's never too late to make a video for a song that we first loved in September 2007. The Canadians enlisted Christopher Mills to direct and animate because he did such a good job on "">The Flood (Pt. 1) ." And guess what he does a great job here. We're guided by fireflies (with compact fluorescent li...

Track:The Flood, Pt. 1
The Acorn cultivates a lush and mellow vibe that doesn't always grab my ear. This track, however starts right off with a great melodic vocal hook and tribal rhythm that sustains the excitement level throughout. The sound reminds me of Poi Dog Pondering and the Talking Heads 'Naked' album.Listen and download: http://cornx2.us/~03ms6

Track:Burrows
I've never been a big fan of either Ohbijou or The Acorn . While I can certainly appreciate that both are technically proficient , I've always found them to be a little boring . I can understand why so many people like them, but they're just not for me. Or, at least, I didn't think they were. Now that I'm listening to the recent split EP they released back in the fall, however, I may have ...

Did you know the first time I brought The Acorn to Indianapolis only 18 people came out to see them? So sad. I think things might be a little different if I tried these days. This past January Kayne West raved about the beauty of their Crooked Legs video. After holding down the opening slot for Fleet Foxes in the UK, the band is currently on tour opening for Elbow.They have also recently re...
