- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
Our Land Brains is a warm and inviting record filled with comfortable sounds
and friendly melodies. Though the Beatles and Beach Boys influences aren't
quite as obvious, Snowglobe shares many psychedelic affinities with the
Elephant 6 bands, such as the Apples in Stereo and especially Neutral Milk
Hotel. The result is a charming and affable listen with swelling thrift-store
organs, horns, acoustic guitars, chimes, and even some strings all blending
into a pleasing whole. The band's vocals are occasionally a little bit too
restrained for their own good, limiting themselves within a specific vocal
range. The songs are catchy enough, though, such as Tim Regan's "Dream Works"
and Brad Postlethwaite's "Smiles and Frowns." Our Land Brains doesn't
aggressively push in any progressive direction, but that's not really the
point. Highly enjoyable.
