WOVEN HAND

"The Good Hand" is one of my top three on this album. There is this good beat with mandolin as vocals come in that remind me of ANATHEMA's Vincent Cavanagh. Piano 2 1/2 minutes in. I find this track to be very uplifting. "My Russia" is darker with deeper vocals. "Blue Pail Fever" is another top three for me. After a brief spacey intro vocals and strummed guitar take over. Organ 2 minutes in and 3 1/2 minutes in is a nice touch. This is such an emotional track. Organ ends it as well. "Glass Eye" is the most country-like. The tempo picks up after a minute. "Wooden Brother" has a good chorus with a fuller sound than the verses.

"Ain't No Sunshine" is a cover of the Bill Withers song. This is a sadder version except for the chorus. "Story And Pictures" has these mellotron-like sounds early. Piano and vocals join in. Guitar follows. "Arrowhead" opens with a vocal sample as piano and guitar take over. Drums join in as well. "Your Russia" is the other top three for me. Deep sounds with vocals to match as heavy drums come in. Great sound 3 1/2 minutes in with vocal melodies. "Last Fist" has these vibes-like sounds before guitar takes over with vocals 1 1/2 minutes in. Very minimilistic even for this band.

I agree with Sean Trane that there is a definite Indie / Alternative flavour to their music. I kept thinking of that on and off throughout this record. As melancholic as this is, I really found a lot of uplifting moments.
