Who says you can't mix a little bango with funk horns and indie-pop style? Hymns, a New York quartet do just that. When I first heard the funky horns "Can't Be What You Want" I thought it was the coming of a happier version of Morphine. But, then the banjo kicked in and I was on a whole new trip man. Brian Harding's vocals remind me a little bit of "Friend of The Devil" Grateful Dead. They have a nice folky-funk-indie-pop style on "Can't Be What You Want" but, other songs such as "LA or Babette Strange" suggest more alt-country leanings.
Their new album Travel In Herds is out now on Blackland Records. You can buy it here.
