Hailing from San Francisco, CA, this five-piece band delivers the goods on Stickeen. The songs are thoughtful and dynamic, ranging from up-tempo celebrations (“Happy All the Time”) to haunting, ethereal broods and lullabies (“Cloud’s Rest,” “Seventeen Year Cicada”). The album is chock full of beautiful vocals, tasteful slide-guitar, organ and expertly played drums. The band changes gears easily from soft acoustic numbers to overdriven guitar rockers without ever losing their identity. El Capitan doesn’t mask the influence of Neil Young or Emmylou Harris, and that’s not a bad thing. They manage to reference these modern-day legends of Americana without sounding like parodies or clones. This is a wonderful album from start to finish — eight tracks of rich, lush, textured, melodic bliss.Write Your Own Review
