Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band recalls both Modest Mouse and Wolf Parade with its fraught melodic sensibilities and intense vocals, creating a solid musical lineage influencing the band’s debut. Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band validates the hype surrounding the band with a wonderfully fuzzy, off-kilter indie-rock record with moody vocal ranges, spastic guitars and lyrics with depth typical of a more mature band. Co-produced by Scott Colburn (Arcade Fire, Animal Collective) their album drops with Dead Oceans on March 10th.
