The Hold Steady - Boys & Girls In America

 

Steadily climbing up my favourites list for this year.

 

<_<

 

Isn't the bit in the first track when it all drops out and there's a Springsteen-ish moment with just piano great?

Aye your right, but Chillout Tent and First night are my favourites so far.

Have you heard the standouts from their other albums?

 

Your Little Hoodrat Friend

Cattle & The Creeping Things

Hostile Mass

Killer Parties

Most People are DJs

Don't Let Me Explode

How a Resurrection Really Feels?

 

This is a nice video, too:

 

 

Love to see them live some day.

I listened to Separation Sunday again recently which I quite liked but never really got into last year. I really like Hornets Hornets and Your Little Hoodrat Friend is possibly my favourite of all of their songs. I seem to remember liking Cattle and The Creeping Things too but I can't really remember any of the other songs. I've downloaded so much lately that it's getting pushed back down my to listen to list but Boys & Girls has really got me interested in them so I think I will be listening to more soon.

I definitely found with The Hold Steady that they left me pretty cold at first, but once I found a couple of songs I really liked (Hoodrat Friend and Cattle), I really warmed to the rest of the stuff too.

 

I think lyrically there aren't many who can touch them right now.

I think the mainly spoken vocals on the last album made it difficult to get into at first (with the exception of Hoodrat which was a lot easier).

When I listened to it again, I think it was the music that I hooked onto allowing me to get used to vocals a lot more.

I agree the lyrics are excellent though.

 

The new album is a lot easier to get into with more traditional singing and more in the way of chorus's that you latch on to.
