Mt St Helens Vietnam Band hail from Seattle, Washington, and have built animpressive reputation on the release of this thrilling debut album. Singer/guitarist Benjamin Verdoes leads a quintet that includes his wife onkeys, and his younger (13 year old!) brother on drums! Co-produced by Scott Colburn (The Arcade Fire, Animal Collective). Full of Thin Lizzy-esque quitar escapades and anti-melodies akin to earlyModest Mouse, Wolf Parade or 3Ds, the album is angular and accessible.
