Preview- The Grand Archives




This is Mat Brooke's (from Band of Horses) new band.
Their self-titled debut comes out on Feb. 19th courtesy of SubPop, but there are some early tracks to be found around the intarwebs. I can best describe the sound as dream-folk rock, with some excellent four-part harmonies...very nice.
Sleepdriving departs from their folky feel in favor of an alt-pop mood, but is probably my favorite song...there's something very peaceful in it.
You can get it and a couple other mp3s for free from Pitchfork Media.
(Make sure you use the MP3> link and not the imeem stream links.)

I'll do a more in-depth review once the album is out.
