I was studying at Starbucks earlier this evening when I heard the most pleasantly melodic music over the speakers. I asked the attendant who it was. “Kate Tucker & the Sons of Sweden” released their first album a few weeks ago, “a lushly layered record of bright melodies.” I was especially intrigued to read they list as one of their influences Band of Horses, which became one of my favorite bands when I heard their newly released second album, “Cease to Begin.” If you haven’t already – go to iTunes and check them both out – it is well worth it!
“The story goes that Tucker ventured out to Seattle, where she found the band wandering among the old Swedes of Ballard. And so Midwest folk met Northwest indie, finding that the same themes shine through the occasional grey: isolation, hope, transition, communion, green fields, blue skies, and empty hands.”
