Heavy Rotation: Harold T. Wilkins, or How to Wait For a Very Long Time
Oh man. I’ve had a few encounters with some really fantastic albums so far this year, and Fanfarlo’s Reservoir is by far my favorite (I do realize it’s only February, but who’s keeping track?).
A little Arcade Fire, a little Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, maybe throw in some Neutral Milk Hotel. I could go on all night. Normally I’d shun a band for sounding too much like something else, but somehow this just works. Listen harder, and each arrangement and lyric becomes completely unique. When else could you find yourself jamming out to a song inspired by a paranormal-obsessed British journalist, and loving every second of it? Not the most groundbreaking sound ever, but when you love what you love, there’s no reason to mess with it. Enjoy “Harold T. Wilkins, or How to Wait for a Very Long Time.” No need to thank me.

I’ll throw in David Byrne in the mix of sound inspirations. Yes/No?
