The Armoires

Music and Animals (Single)

Big Stir Records

This is a late entry into my Song of the Year sweepstakes. The Armoires return with a great single about life and how much it means, in good or bad times, to provide comfort and joy. The lyrics are gently wry, reminiscent of the Nields. The music is smart pop/folk rock, a mellower version of The Wonder Stuff's style. The Armoires' upcoming full length will be out next fall, but if it sounds as good as this single, it should be a treat.
