Arrah and The Ferns: Evan is a Vegan Review
I bought Evan is a Vegan after hearing two songs: Science books and Apple for Evan from my favourite music blogger Matt from YouAintNoPicasso. These two songs compelled to buy the album because one they were great and they had a female on vocals, which I usually become addicted to.Thankfully the record label Standing Recording offered PayPal as a means of buying the album or I wouldn’t have been lucky enough to catch some of these songs. At first to be honest I couldn’t get myself to listen to some songs with the beginning of the album being Pre-Pre-teens seemed to be just filler and more annoying. I tend to myself skipping these tracks and listening to 90% of the album that is good and worthwhile.
I was pleasantly surprised to hear Skylark as I really liked Carl Stovner’s vocals and that song has become the new song that is repeated over and over on my album. All the tracks I have really liked after listening to them for awhile. Another personal favourite of mine of is Bundle Up.
There is not that much info about Arrah and The Ferns on the internet as they don’t even have a page on Wikipedia yet (they should)! They are a indie pop folk band from Muncie, Indiana. I have no idea where that is but it sounds far from Toronto. Even being seldom known at the moment on the internet, doesn’t take away that this is a solid album.
This also seems like a band with SO much potential and I really look forward to their stuff in the future. I’ll give the album a 4 out of 5. I think some people may be turned off by sounding too folk and not necessarily cool but I don’t care as this band has become one of my favourites.
You can listen to Apple for Evan and my favourite Skylark on Arrah and The Fern’s Myspace.
