I recently heard a song or two by Sanford Arms on KEXP (I love internet radio!). I bought this record and it is amazing. It has so much depth and texture. I think they write really amazing songs. I have been listening to it non-stop since I got it on Tuesday. I recomend it to anyone who likes Mojave 3, The Flaming Lips, Coldplay, Wilco, Belle and Sebastion or Ryan Adams. I feel like I just made a new friend.

Definitely one of the best albums of 2004! If you like Coldplay, you'll love this one. Very, very solid album... put in your player and before you know it you're back at track 1.

Sanford Arms are another one of those bands who've drawn that line. Bands like American Music Club or The Pernice Brothers or The Sea & Cake or Luna...you know, the kind who record rich and luscious albums for early mornings, work days and wide-open Sunday drives. Then support those recordings with powerful, raw and gritty live performance in stinky rock bars. Yet, somehow, meticulously connecting the dots.

It's cool.

Listen to their albums. See them play. It's a tradition of artists who don't color within their own lines.
