An Horse - Rearrange Beds (2009)


Until I can catch up, here's something I've enjoyed recently. Finals are almost over and I'll get back into this for new releases that come out in the new year.

This is kinda like Mates of State's Rearrange Us (2008). Female fronted, catchy-as-hell pop music. This isn't quite that sweet and sugary though. I think it's comparable in quality. The lyrics seem a bit more intelligent, and the vocals are somewhere in the middle ground between Tegan & Sara's style and the super sweet vocals of the likes of Camera Obscura. The singer (apologies, dont know her name) doesn't seem to be trying to make her voice sound all that "good." She sounds great, but not as though she's trying too hard, which is good. Musically, this is pretty basic. Mid-tempo backdrops for the vocals, which are the main focus of the album, and it works.
