SIGNAL TO TRUST
Folklore (Modern Radio Record Label)

This is one of the few albums I've received lately that actually seems like a concept album. I don't know if that's intentional or not, but I have to assume it is. The whole album ties together under the idea of modern folklore, with each song being about wild animals, city landscapes, urban gods and beasts of burden: spoken word monologues set to a math-rock ensemble. It's pretty cool, the juxtaposition of a wild man shouting out about wolves and sparrows and airplanes against a backdrop of electric guitars and vibrant percussion, and it works really well here.
