I’ve collected a lot of great music over the past months that I haven’t shared, so I’ll start putting up an album each week.  I can’t promise that you’ll like it, only that I like it.

Blind Pilot – 3 Rounds and a Sound

Blind Pilot is an inie-pop/folk duo from Portland whose music is very straightforward and simple, even stripped down.  Before releasing this, their first full-length album, they went on a bike tour of the west coast, carrying everything with them on their backs and playing at out-of-the-way places that don’t normally get touring bands.  The fact that two men can carry all they needed on their backs might give you a sense of the kind of music they play (and how much they love it).  The album is full of beautiful songs and became an instant favorite of mine.   Some highlights are “Oviedo,” “One Red Thread” and “3 Rounds and a Sound,” but it’s one of those albums without a single bad song.  You can listen to some of their music here and here.  Enjoy!
