Album of the Month is now Album of the Week

Waiting, waiting, waiting and still it’s not time for next month’s album.

ii. There are just too many good albums coming out every month to constrain this space to just one addition every 30 days.

c) I’m looking to procrastinate so it’s time to add a new album.

.·. Behold, April 27th’s album of the week:

Patrick Watson - Wooden Arms
Amazon.com | iTunes

Full of great arrangements and nifty production.
Strings, marimba, great drummer, wild west slide guitar, whip snaps, pots and pans… This guy knows how to write a song.

You may recognize Watson’s voice from the Cinematic Orchestra song (from their album Ma Fleur), called That Home, which was used first at the climax of the season premiere of Greys Anatomy, last year, and then subsequently on a million other evening dramas… Also a great tune and amazing record.

Wooden Arms is definitely a quirky, however beautiful album. Needs either headphones or a quiet space for listening though. Nickelback could take a lesson in subtlety from this piece of work.

If you’re excited for Where the Wild Things Are, coming to theaters October 16th, Watson’s (presumably) written a track for the movie, which appears on this record.

Check it out!
