Review

..the Hearts have made a strange, funny, lovely indie-folk album. These songs live in the weeks of summer you clung to before school started -- too late for a vacation, too early to give up on sneaking out at night. Songwriting is often murky, abounding with vague second-person. But Troy Pohl and Gavin Richard convey delectable imagery: a town with unlocked doors and keys left in ignitions in "No One Called You a Failure;" whispering into a drive-thru window in "Wolfert's Roost." Their livelihood is in their details. That nostalgia and anxiety are the root emotions of most Americana bands, and maybe Americana itself. The depth of those emotions can be seductive, especially when nurtured as much as in Oneida Road. The fact that Oneida Road made me un-forget the forgotten can only attest to its accomplishments. --Bill Peters -- Local Buzz / Northampton, MA - 8/31/06

Product Description

After three years of tinkering and toiling in their makeshift studio, The Kamikaze Hearts return with a brand new album in hand. The "Oneida Road" LP retains the band's signature lyrical prowess draped over a highly improved musical landscape. Add sonic details such as accordions, keyboards, bowed upright bass, harmonized mandolin solos to The Kamikaze Hearts' usual acoustic guitar, dobro, bass, mandolin and banjo set up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Catchy Indie Rock Meets Alt-Country, March 27, 2007

By	Scott E. Bindel (Cleveland, OH USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is an excellent album from start to finish. I have played it for many people in my car and no one has disliked it. After hearing "Top of Your Head" and "Ash Wednesday," it was an easy purchase. The rest of the album followed nicely.

Rolling indie rock with catchy melodies and harmonies. A perfect driving disc.

5.0 out of 5 stars 54 but feeling 24, January 10, 2008

By	Mark DiMartino (East Glenville, New York United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Driving rhythms, tuneful harmonies, intelligent, poetic and nostalgic lyrics. An eclectic mix of indie rock, folk and country music from upstate New York.

Seeing them live is a joyous and uplifting experience and should not be missed for those who live in the northeast. My 22 year old son invited me to see them in Troy, NY. The student has now become the teacher.

My rating is actually four and a half stars out of selfishness because the CD is short on time and I wanted more.
