If you are a die-hard indie band
junkie or just like keeping up with up and coming artists, you might have heard
a new name floating around. The name is Wooly and the Mammoth (cool right?), A folk/indie band worth following. They sound
very much like The Cranberries or Mumford & Sons. They just released their
EP album (According to ever-faithful Wikipedia, EP stands for Extended
Play, a musical recording that contains more than a single, but less than a full album)
At Bay and (I'll try my hardest to speak in a musically-knowledgeable
tone) the twinkling harmonies (what am I? A three year old?) and the crunchy
twinges of mandolin (If my last name was Lin then my name would be Amanda Lin-
A mandolin, get it? Haha, anyway...) in the background offer a nice crisp
backbeat. (Ok, am I talking about the music anymore or what I had for
lunch?) Anyway, you get the point.
(I'm sorry about all the
parentheses).
I also might be the teeny-weeniest
bit biased as the Female Vocalist/Banjo Player/Guitar player is none other then
my cousin, Ali Schilder! She also did the layout for their album cover art
which embodies the spirit of the band. And the WM overlay kind of looks
like a crown-which I love!
My favorite song is "The Rain
Will Come." The lyrics are so pretty and the vocals so, so... oh, see for
yourself! I also like "Troubles from so Long Ago."
At Bay is only $1.00 the first week and then gets bumped up to $5.00
afterwards so start clicking, listening, and buying people!
You should really check them out
because if you don't, in the future when they make the top 40 list, I can
annoyingly taunt you, "I told you so! I told you so!"
More,
Amanda
