For all the years after John Lennon’s death that his fans waited, first for Julian, and then for Sean, to follow in his footsteps, Friendly Fire would prove to be the first album to almost live up to their (unreachable) expectations.  Yet Sean Lennon’s second album is not the work of his father, their similarities are limited only to the Lennon nasal timbre, only Seans is an octave higher.  Yet Friendly Fire is a great work of melody, each song beautifully worked to be as visual as the movies that go along with them (look for them on youtube) and “Dead Meat” is perhaps the best, and most unique song on here.  Head on over to Art of the Mixtape to download the song if you like it.

Upon listening most people would compare this band to contemporaries like The Felice or The Avett Brothers, yet The Rosewood Thieves are of the talent where they deserve their own recognition.  The lead singer is blessed with a voice that sounds like the child of Bob Dylan and John Lennon, raspy, nasally but ultimately tuneful, and the lyrical narrative of a woman doing wrong is full of quite fantastic imagery (the title should be a hint). Its a sight for the ears to see, It’s a warm invitation into the singer’s life, a bar type atmosphere and a timeless progression that sticks to your head the moment you hear it.  If you like it head on over to Art of the Mixtape to download the thing.
