THE AUTUMN DEFENSE

Once Around

2010-12-30

This fourth release from The Autumn Defense, being Wilco founding member, John Stirratt, and current Wilco member, Pat Sansone, brings more easy-listening pleasure to our ears. "Once Around" features Jayhawks harmonies ("Allow Me" and "Step Easy"), Ben Folds-style piano-based melodies ("Back of My Mind"), Dan Fogelberg folk-rock ("Tell Me What You Want") and many more comparisons! With its emphasis on vocals, slick production, and an occasional string section thrown in here and there, one can easily enjoy "Once Around". Rebecca Ruth
