If alternative music need something to save it in this day and age, why don't we make it the use of the brass section? Me and the horns...it's something I can't pass up. Denver seven-piece Five Iron Frenzy knows what I'm talking about, especially with the definitely-fun track "It Was A Dark And Stormy Night," a track that juts out from my Recently Added playlist as a few things. Good, first of all. Then there's catchy, flawless, enjoyable, uplifting...where could we go wrong here?
Beginning with the bray of the horns, and it was a dark and stormy night last night, bitter dark...you might realize this song is darker in content than it sounds, but that's because it's literally about a dark and stormy night and the hope that gets you through it. Perhaps the uplifting feeling I got did come from the lyrics after all, and not just those wondrous sounds of the trumpet and company. Oh, what I would give to play the saxophone like Jeff The Girl, or at least Lisa Simpson. So there you go. Listen and cheer yourself up a bit in the dead of winter. What the hell are you waiting for?
