Their style has changed a lot over the years, but I think they're always technically post hardcore, with a blend of folk. It's hard to know which era will resonate with people, but January 1979 was the first I heard from them and my interest was immediately piqued. The Fox, the Crow, and the Cookie is probably their easiest to enjoy. And I have a friend who spent a decade hearing me play their music, but it wasn't until he heard this track they they clicked for him.
It's very different, but [dormouse sighs] fascinates me
Hah, seems like a random track. I'm curious what jumped out to you.
It was randomly put in a radio playlist spotify made for me. I was told the band was good, so I heard the fox, the crow, and the cookie, then january 1979, then 9:27 am, so by the time i heard dormouse I didn't know what to expect.
The song itself, it's just weird and dark. It could just be me, but some songs just grab me. It's, maybe not cinematic is the right word. But it's powerful, it feels like something is happening over the course of it. And I like songs like that, especially apocalyptic types. Another good example is The End of the World by Aphrodite's Child. It just puts me in a mood. Set next to a folksy jam about a bird stealing pastries, I was just really interested in it and the guy writing it.
