RVM would be interesting arranged with a brass section, Can't Keep also.McParadigm wrote:I've always thought that Spin the Black Circle would be really fun to hear as an upbeat sounding track with a big brass band and a singer with a really inviting, friendly tone.

Goddamn, now I'm gonna be stuck listening to Beirut all day.

In theory, none of the actual instruments they've used on recent albums are a problem. The problem is that none of them, least of all BoB, has any idea how to make a tasteful arrangement of said instruments.
