"The promise of the fall, and winter's lazy call"

0 Comments Published by Kate on Sunday at 8/24/2008 10:48:00 AM.

All We Could Do Was Sing sounds the way the title would suggest: three scrappy guys playing guitar, sitting on the coast, having a good time. Before you stop paying attention, note that M. Ward named this trio as his favorite new band in 2007.

Back to the album: sometimes it's quiet and forlorn ("Will You Be There?"), sometimes it's exuberant ("I Woke Up Today"), sometimes there's unexpected Rock & Roll ("Pigeonhold"). I suspect Port O'Brien's folksy fun will remain on my radar for a few years to come.

I owe a big thank you to my Oberlin buddy Harris for some of the coding and for file-hosting (*hearts Harris*); you can hire him to build your website just because he's that awesome.
