wake up, it's almost over

My lovely music soulmate Andrea had sent me some of Kunek's mp3s awhile back but didn't get her hands on the album until recently. I finally got a chance to give it a listen and it's fantastic. They're a relatively unknown band from Stillwater, OK who have finally put out their debut CD, Flight of the Flynns, for all of us to enjoy. Along the lines of Radiohead, Sigur Ros, and Elbow....this is some beautiful stuff.

Oklahoma's six-piece of talented multi-instrumentalists offer twelve songs that reflect the theory that music is a delicate intersection of science and emotion. Hypnotizing melodies that are at once hopeful and solemn, layers of complex harmonies, and spellbinding rhythms. The result is tuneful and complete, and from it all comes a sincerity, confident in the knowledge that this is music they've wanted to make all along.
