Big Blood + The Grove

Big Blood + The Grove is the latest installment in the Big Blood saga, slid to us by Caleb at their show here in Portland, Maine, a week ago.

For those already privy to the genius of ex-Cerberus Shoal (now Fire on Fire, and briefly Threads) husband & wife masterminds Caleb Mulkerin and Colleen Kinsella, you needn't read any further -- you already know you need this.

For the uninitiated, this might be a good entry into the short-lived yet extensive oeuvre of Big Blood, as it's quite possibly their best collection of tunes yet.

In addition to the jaunty stoned off-key folk singalong stompers they've become known for over the course of this last year, there're a few nice drawn-out psych jams on here, as well. Charalambides or GHQ might be decent reference points for the sound on a couple of these tracks.

But forget comparisons -- when Caleb and Colleen are in action, there's no real comparison. No one else sounds like this... and no one (as far as we're concerned) can write songs like this.

Special thanks to Caleb and Colleen for making this available to us.
