I just watched the SNL performance and I need to revisit the album. That chicks voice is insanely beautiful and powerful. They seem to have tightened up quit ea bit too. Seem to be a better band all around.

Damn near sent chills down my spine hearing her belt that out.

Yea, she also looks ridiculous, but whatever it takes to belt that voice out...

Good shit.
the 2nd song they played on SNL is from the Silver Linings Playbook soundtrack, i really like that one also, it was nice to hear at the end of the movie.
they are really good live, i was most looking forward to seeing them at Bonnaroo last year and they did not disappoint, so if you get the chance to see them definitely do it.
and i never thought it was a guy, but when i downloaded they had a description and a picture of the band so i already knew they had a woman lead singer.

The album is meh. There are silver linings in all of the songs and they have potential, but they fall flat IMO. The musicianship just is not there to support them in this style of music.

1. If Kendrick Lamar and Father John Misty didn't exist Sound & Color would've been the best record of 2015.

2. This band is getting back together. :bammer:

A revival of a thread 12 years in the making. Looking forward to what they come up with.
