Sosos - Abigail (2006)



/Indie folk, Alt-folk, Psychedelic folk, Folk indie, Chamber folk/

Comment: This is a fine set of calm-sensed and impetus-driven tracks respectively based on folk tunes yet because of its adjacent elements it is not quite ordinary songwriting though. Sosos is a 5-pieced US-group which uses variable elements to enrich their soundscape, more detailly, using psychedelic keyboard passages, gospel-tuned backdrops, and orchestrated, baroque-esque progressions. Thereby the album can be considered as an instance of roots music adapted over to the borders of nowadays situation. Quite similar to Wilco indeed.
