Bon Iver, the Dodos, Bowerbirds, Great Lake Swimmers…



REVIEW

Blind Pilot are another great harmonic/ambient acoustic band. Their debut album “3 Rounds and a Sound” is solid from start to finish, and almost every song will have you singing along by the end. Israel’s voice really completes the sound. Definitely look forward to more of them in the future as well, they have really started to hit it big in the indie scene.



SONGS



The first song on the album, and their staple has to be “The Story I heard”. This one has been stuck in my head from the first time I heard it.

Next is my personal favourite, “Paint or Pollen”. I love the backround drumming in this one, and the melody towards the end.
