Feral Harmonic

VINYL FORMAT. The music on Feral Harmonic is bold and loud. While folk music at heart, the presentation is far from traditional, with the songs drawing elements from different influences (such as indie and even punk rock), and the rulebook of contemporary recording thrown out the window. The energy and ideas on Feral Harmonic are palpable starting with song one, "Little Bird Courage," as the album launches with joyous, barreling drums, furiously strummed guitars, and glistening toy piano that erupts into a chorus of trumpets. Cautiously plucked banjo forewarns the ominous lessons of "Trust," while cascading guitars, trumpets, and pounding drums build to a boisterous roar, contrasting the lyrical lover's lament in "Stuck." The album closes, after all, with wistful "Southern Radio," which features only Crisci's weathered voice and an acoustic guitar.
