Oct 17, 2016Reflective and exuberant by turns, it’s an outstanding album.
-
Oct 7, 2016Playing all the instruments here, they demonstrate their continuing growth as musicians. And Trent’s production, too, shows incredible depth and agility. The sound of this record is raw and alive. It’s a hell of a ride.
-
Oct 6, 2016It is, in fact, a portrait of life’s triumphs and travails, its joys and sorrows rendered in wholly compelling detail.
-
Oct 12, 2016Whether they’re tearing through a raucous house burner (“Buffalo Nickle”) or serenading in quieter moments (“St. Anne’s Parade,” “This Ride”), Shovels & Rope manage to deliver a nearly flawless record. Yet again.
-
Oct 12, 2016Shovels & Rope balances a robust blend of electric guitar and a booming kick drum with reflective vocals, and the result is at once triumphant and melancholy.
-
Oct 6, 2016This string of downtempo songs, while soothing and catchy, will leave fans of Shovels & Rope's more upbeat fare feeling restless. A more balanced reshuffling of the track list would have solved this issue, and might have made this already excellent album a classic. But as is, Little Seeds is a fantastic LP that showcases Shovels & Rope's uncanny ability to both rock out and rest easy.
-
Oct 7, 2016The combination of the macabre subject matter and the celebratory music feels akin to last spring’s Pile, an album by Houston, Texas’ A Giant Dog. But where that band explodes with party-friendly garage rock, Shovels & Rope let things sizzle a little bit longer.
