Prayer among solitary mountain overlooks. Comforting wind in high grasses. The soundtrack to small simple comforts and unusual kismet. That's Folsom, CA's Brown Shoe. If My Morning Jacket lost all of their blue-sy/classic rock tendencies, then you might not have My Morning Jacket. Or from that shell of guitar glimmers and high-hat cymbal crashes and long arcing guitar parts, you might have Brown Shoe. Their songs contain a hopeful nature glazed through a mixture of elegant distorted aural washes. Like a vocalized and tight Sigur Ros. Somebody popped me their first two albums, The Wheat Patch and Vanity last year and I still listen to them. Yeah, that's saying something. Their most recent is Jackalope which I haven't heard yet, but seems to be more of the same greatness. All their stuff is on their website.
