What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

BOY AND BEAR "moonfire" cd, 2011.

this one was released here when i was in the US with Music Head and Corey kept this one aside for me to collect when i returned, stated this one could be one of the albums of the year....a big call IMO at the time but upon inspection he very well could be correct....
Debut album by these guys from Down Under who gained recognition after winning a radio station new band discovery competition in early 2010.
they got their big break supporting Mumford and Sons on their 2010 Aussie Tour and recieved as much critical acclaim as Mumfords on that tour and the rest is history.
band went to Nashville to record this debut set with Shins/My Morning Jacket producer and what we end up with is an album of beautiful vocals and harmonies and for the most part music inline with the latest modern folk trends set by Mumford & Sons....and here's a big call by me in regards to it, it possibly has the potential to be as good as the Mumford's album and as big a seller worldwide if marketed the right way!!!
there are touches of not only Mumfords on here but also a track or two that i feel owe their beginnings back to America's "horse with no name" and some of Paul Simon's solo material.
already spawning three top 20 hits here in Australia(tracks 2,3 and 4) and reaching a respectable #2 on the album charts(only to be held off the top spot by Adele!)
i implore you all to take the time to listen to this one as this band have the potential to be huge worldwide over the next couple of years!

B&B did a cover of Crowded House's "fall at your feet" on a Finn Brothers tribute album last year, so here is the link for that one also:
