September 28 - The Wilde Flowers

One of my favorite bands is Swedish band Opeth. They are about to release a new album on Friday, and they have been controlling the output of songs, one by one, from the album. The third sample is the one that really hit me hardest. The Wilde Flowers has a riff to die for, staccato vocals, and then the eerie Opeth twist that elevates the song even higher. The title itself is per normal for Opeth a reference to obscure progressive music, as The Wilde Flowers was a British progressive band from the Canterbury scene. I am excited for Friday - looking forward to what I hope is another great record. They haven't disappointed me yet...
