Solander’s a friend of a friend of a virtual friend. Their music is hard to pin down as it can be hard and fierce or spare and timid. As you can see the group features a number of interesting instruments including a cello, violin and keys.
There are plenty of religious references in their latest ep which I like. The vocalist on “When Christ Comes to Town” sounds a bit like Bright Eyes and musically on that song I hear a bit the seizmic shifts of tempo tht the Pixies explored and put to such good use in their early stuff. The band will be releasing a new ep in Fb that will include one Belle and Sebastian cover and 3 or 4 other songs (one of them quite noisy). I’ll let you know when you can hear that.
