The Weepies - Say I Am You

October 25th 2006

The Weepies - Say I Am You I haven’t found an album like this in years. I’ve been listening to it and nothing else for the last week and it still hasn’t gotten old, which is no small feat for me. Maybe this is just my style, a perfect mix of folk guitar and harmonized vocals, something like Iron & Wine mixed with Joni Mitchell and Rilo Kiley, but actually together, well orchestrated, and more modern and very listenable, none of them annoying in the slightest. The songs are tight, perfectly arranged and played, and memorable, with beautiful poetic lyrics that shift between somewhat pessimistic and hopefully and honestly optimistic. From the first to the last track, there’s not a single bad one. The only one I skip sometimes is the sad one ;-)

If you’re looking for an album to listen to, think about, and listen to again and again, this is the one! Hear some tracks at their web site.
