omg! music! album! 2011~!

Days of Echo- Bohannons

Coming in under 25 minutes, this 'chill' rock record is a solid effort from Chattanooga, TN based Bohannons, who are currently on tour now (as indicated by their last.fm page). Days of Echo features seven tracks, each of which tells a fascinating story (though one can't help but doubt the veracity of some. I'm talking to you, Gramaw and Grampaw). The overall feel of the album is a mellow but not lulling sound; one imagines themselves listening to the band while in an old, beloved car with an almost stranger. Or, depending on your experience, you could just as easily transport yourself to your friend's garage, listening to a rad jam session while you do a little bit of an illegal substance or two. It's music to sway to and make memories born out of naivete that you aren't wont to forget.
Looking forward to hearing more from this group as they continue to explore their sound! The band has Days of Echo for purchase here, for $5. $5! You could spend that much on a meal at a revolting fast food restaurant and gain about two pounds, or discover a new band and namedrop them like crazy around your friends. Your choice.

Favourite tracks: Crown Vic Blues, Are You On Drugs? Tune In Tonite

Lyrics to remember: no, I can't hear your sound/ well, are you on drugs/ I'd rather see that/than see you in love/ with him/

Sounds like (to this music novice): Infinite Arms - Band Of Horses
