As Tall As Lions
[5/5] Blame it on the Anathallos, My Morning Jackets or Rogue Waves of the music scene: Three-chord progressions are out, Farfisa organ and dulcimer players are at a premium, and brave musicians everywhere have given themselves permission again to experiment with soul. As Tall As Lions are no exception, and on their self-titled sophomore release, the Long Island, New York quartet deliver a slab of juicy vibe-rock with all the eccentricity of their peers without sacrificing a stitch of accessibility. Catchy tracks like “Love Love Love (Love Love)” and “Milk And Honey” show off vocalist Daniel Nigro’s unbridled Jeff Buckley-esque range, while “Ghosts Of York” and “Be Here Now” hit a more mainstream mark with the conviction and clarity of an act twice their senior.
