more canadians!

The Acorn are more folk-pop goodness from the shores of that mysterious land, Canada. they are similar to the folky, quirky awesomeness of fellow Canadians Plants and Animals, though The Acorn leans towards the quieter, simpler side of things. although The Acorn's music isn't simple, per se, but it is straightforward in its beauty and sweetness. each of the songs are a little story wrapped in lovely sound, eclectic instrumentation, and topped off with singer Rolf Klausener's soothing vocals.

my favorite track on the album is definitely the Sufjan Stevens-esque opener, "Hold Your Breath." however, I just discovered that they've also released a wonderfully cheesy video for the adorable song "Crooked Legs," which I also thoroughly enjoy:
