When I played Lord Huron to a friend of mine he said that it was so close to early Panda Bear or Animal Collective as to be a little uncomfortable.  I never really listened to that stuff, so I really have no idea, but I thought I’d mention it just in case.  Myself, on the other hand, I approach this with more naive ears, and I like it an awful lot.  Really, a very awful lot, if there is such a thing.

If I were to throw out a glib comparison, and why the fuck not, I guess I would describe the music as being what Fleet Foxes might produce if Vampire Weekend’s percussion section were playing along with them.  Don’t worry, this doesn’t sound anything like Vampire Weekend, but I reckon you probably know what I mean.

It is blissful, dreamy Summer style music, with distant, echoey vocals which nevertheless manage to exude great warmth, and oddly assembled backing tracks which includes really nicely shuffling percussion as well as plenty of artificial noises, which skitter across the songs like nervous beetles on a glass table.

The whole EP is just supremely laid back, unconcerned music – music which seems to transmit its capacity to leave the problems of life for another day to you so completely that thirty seconds of it will calm you down, get you to make a cup of tea, and stop worrying.  I don’t want to make a song available for free download as there are only three songs, and they can be bought from Bandcamp for a mere $3, so there’s no excuse not to buy it.  And it would be money very well spent – I am really enjoying this.
