Customer Reviews

my favorite album of the year
"Three Rounds and a Sound" is surely the best album I've heard this year -- indeed, possibly the best album I've come across since my dearly beloved Rheostatics broke up. It's fabulously beautiful, deep and sad and lovely, and catchy all at the same time. The melancholy tone of youth at the moment when youth begins to fade. Songs that sound as if they have been patiently waiting for a millenium or more for someone to finally come along and give birth to them. "Oviedo," in particular, could save the life of a desperate man if played at just the right moment. What can I say to capture how good this disc is? If it were a girl I'd leave my wife for her. There. Enough said.

A great find!
Blind Pilot is a band out of Portland, Ore. created by natives Ryan Dobrowski and Israel Nebeker.

The group has a cool folk sound with an acoustic guitar and simple effective drumming. They mention Neutral Milk Hotel as influence, but they do not sound as raw.

Blind Pilot is doing a West Coast bike tour starting in August. Check this music out. You will certainly enjoy it.

It came out of nowhere and now I can't stop listening to it.
I was fortunate to be given a copy of this album a while back, and I have not been able to stop listening. It's amazingly delicate, and powerful at the same time. Before spouting other cliches, I'd like to say it's easily been my favorite album for a few months now.

This album deserves to be listened with a good set of headphones, an amplifier, and CD player. It's has an amazingly soundstage for how softly (yet clearly) each songs proceeds. Brilliant.
