Oh man, it's good. I am absolutely kicking myself for missing their sold out show here in Denver. I done wore this album playing it front to back and again. My only gripe is perhaps that it's too long. Please make more.
and I heard a lot of albums.
there is absolutely no overlap between this music and that of a very mediocre "alt flamenco" or whatever you want to call them guitar duo. i don't love this music, but i just felt compelled, for those interested in checking out this band, that they in no way sound like rodrigo y gabriela. at all. conceptually, actually, or otherwise.

every week a new band comes out with great songwriting and musicianship. B&G are not totally unique - i hear strains of tegan and sarah, dirty projectors, even rodrigo y gabriella - but their sound is strong and their sonic palette is unique. its worth several listenings.
