I now understand why those cute, yet frightening little squirrels like acorns so much. This morning I have found myself enjoying an acorn as well...The Acorn. Their most recent EP was released on December 2, 2006, under the Paper Bag Records label which is the Stars record label as well. A full length album is said to release this coming Fall 2007.
Their sound is nothing short of enchantingly melodic. Original. Multiple instruments to pick out of their collection. The attention to detail in each song I have heard so far is just insane. And please believe me when I tell you that by "insane" I mean the highest of incredible compliments!
Here, take a listen to "Plates & Saucers" and let me know what you think. This particular song is on their "Blankets" EP.
If you like it you can buy their older EPs here from when they were with Kelp Records.
