I was lost in the mountains of music that make up Barnes & Noble's audio section, listening to CDs at random. A little bit of celtic here, some showtunes there. I even stumbled upon Disney's Wall-E soundtrack. But nothing caught my interest quite like Swoon.
I've never seen a more perfectly named CD. It was love at first listen: they had me hooked at "There's No Secrets This Year". Each audio clip, from "The Royal We" to "Surrounded (Or Spiraling)", was stunning. The music, the lyrics, the vocals-- triumphant!
To paraphrase the band themselves, this album is enough to make you sing, fight, and even cry.
