The Acorn: Glory Hope Mountain

Thursday, November 15, 2007

As of right now I feel that The Acorn is the perfect compliment to the seasonal changes. It's something a little slower, softer; something you need. They are a five piece hailing from Ottawa, Ontario. Since 2003, they've released 2 EPs and 2 full lengths. Their latest release, "Glory Hope Mountain", is a brilliant concept album. The Title was derived from a loose translation of lead singer, Rolf Klausener's mother, Gloria Esperanza Montoya. The songs on the album are her stories. Stories of her struggles, hardships and tragedies. Rolf was compelled to write about them and Glory Hope Mountain was born.

Loving the Crooked Legs tune. Rolf's voice (is that him on lead) remonds me of a mid-era Talking Head David Byrne. The music is light but not too poppy. Give me a double bill with Vampire Weekend and I might be in heaven!
