An elusive, complicated work with plenty to be enthralled by.
With the release of their last album Glory Hope Mountain, The Acorn caught the ear of everybody from Elbow’s Guy Garvey (who named it his favourite of 2008) to Kanye West (who posted the video for Crooked Legs on his blog under the all-caps heading, “THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!”). The album itself is indeed a beautiful thing, wherein singer Rolf Klausener considers his Honduran mother’s flight to Canada and the eventual happiness she found there. Along the way the Ottowans tapped into something grand and elemental, resulting in a set that felt both deeply personal and wonderfully vast, thoroughly earning its many plaudits.
