Firm as a Rock We Stand EP

by LYR

James Hobson I simply cannot convey how much I adore this EP. It's everything I love in music: stunning & intriguing lyrics, leading to a quest for learning their origins, a teaching of stories less told, a melding of genres and styles into someone so much more than itself, and music beautiful to elevate it all. This stands shoulder-to-shoulder with Public Service Broadcasting's Every Valley, both very separate entities, both vital. This comment certainly sounds gushing, & that's how its meant to be.
