The Shot Heard Round the World have a new 5-track CD thing out on Pray for the Prairie and it's called Felluponstone. The plastic wrapping on the CD is of average thickness this time around.. Times are hard I suppose. This lot do the Byrds/Flying Burrito Brothers thing very well indeed with a lovely, lush, authentic sound that does the songs full justice. Quality stuff for all the people who accidentally press ctrl.alt.country when Windows crashes.
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
What their label says...
The Shot Heard 'Round the World "Felluponstone" CD/LP www.prayfortheprairie.com
Mountain Landis Record Label is proud to announce the release of "Felluponstone," the second release from Brooklyn-based band The Shot Heard 'Round the World.
Recorded in Connecticut in 2007 by Rob Christiansen (of Teenbeat notoriety), the album marks a shift in direction for the band, whose first album, "Ten Songs for Town & Country" garnered critical acclaim for its lush harmonies, hazy, wistful reflection, and 60's restlessness. "Felluponstone" takes that groundwork and moves it in a new direction, with more prominent guitar and "crazier rhythms."
The band as it appears on the record includes Alex Farrill (ex-Dirty Projectors) on guitar, Brian House (Multitudes) on bass, Tim Bean on guitar, and Rob Christiansen (Sisterhood of Convoluted Thinkers, Eggs) on drums.
