Twilight Hotel -
When The Wolves Go Blind (2011)
An album I grabbed earlier in the year but haven't listened to in a little while. I think this album is going to be one of the ones that we will talk about 7-8 years down the line when we're looking fondly back on the music of the past decade. This album is full of all sorts of interesting and well implemented instrumentation. It makes it a hard album to place, there's elements of baroque pop, folk, classical, bluegrass, country, and just about every similar genre all crammed into one unique piece. Definitely don't sleep on this one.
Very close to sounding like the recorded track, and I love their showman's ship, plus Brandy Zdan is pretty good looking.
Here's a studio version of their best song on the album.
