It's been a bit hard to find the motivation to write these and I apologize; as short as they are. Working full-time here in Ottawa you'd think I'd find some sort of inspiration from this beautiful city but no, nothing seems more precious than regular sleep.
Since there hasn't been a post on Blind Pilot here before it would be more sensible to start from the beginning with their release album '3 Rounds and a Sound', but I've decided to do that later. Their most recent album, We Are The Tide is a build on their successful initial release.
Blind Pilot is an indie-folk group hailing from Portland, Oregon. If I had to compare them to anyone else I'd say they sound somewhat similar to Horse Feathers. Unfortunately I can't do that because they do have their own distinct sound. This is highly evident in their vocals provided by Israel Nebeker. If you're looking for a group well beyond capable of blending trumpets, banjos, acoustics and vocals into a wonderful melodic masterpiece of an album, this is a good place to start.
To truly appreciate aforementioned blending I'd recommend some good speakers or some decent headphones. Proceed to crank the volume over 50%, sit back and appreciate every little inclusion. While not being instrumentally intricate, the combination of subtle strums and hums coupled with some elegant vocals provokes an almost gratuitous emotional response.
Of course if you want quality I'd highly recommend picking up their album.
