Other Lives, Tamer Animals
2011 | Label: TBD Records / ATO

From the very second Tamer Animals fades into focus, it’s as if Other Lives are out to deliver one of the year’s most richly detailed records; a flawless, filler-free set of spellbound songs that’ll make anyone with a pulse feel sudden pangs of loss and regret. If you understand the appeal of artists like Fleet Foxes but leave their LPs feeling a bit empty, this record will fill that void with what essentially amounts to a well-edited vocal version of Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Meaning: music that moves you, even if you can’t quite put your finger on why.

By a very wide margin...

...this is my favorite album of this year, if not the past few years. This is one of those bands that rips emotion from me as a listener. It is Ennio Morricone taking a quiet contemplative walk with the Beatles and happening to run into a "Pet Sounds" era Brian Wilson who happens to be relaxing in a park with Pink Floyd. Brings tears to the eyes and makes one want to do great things.

Best record of 2011

Lalalandstudios

This album is gorgeous, big, ambitious and absolutely beautiful. The songs coalesce to form a huge sounding soundtrack of a film yet to be made. I hear early Pink Floyd, Beatles, Radiohead, Spaghetti western, and even Alt country among others. They are amazing live as well, as their songs take on an even bigger, more "3D", and more energetic stance. This will not disappoint. You owe yourself to check these wonderful musicians out. Well done!!!
