Blog > Title: Bruce Peninsula is Amazing
Bruce Peninsula is one of my new favorite artists. I heard their song, “Steamroller” on WERS at like 1:00 in the morning last week and immediately went to their website to buy their debut album, A Mountain Is A Mouth.
Bruce Peninsula is folk that isn’t afraid to get loud and noisy. Singer Neil Haverty’s voice isn’t necessarily pretty, but it’s unmistakably earnest and entirely unignorable. The most immediately noticeable element, however, is the gospel choir that instantly gives each song an epic quality.
I know that 2009 is still very young, but I honestly believe A Mountain Is A Mouth is a solid contender for album of the year.
