Sibling trio Raymondale And The Family Band’s debut release, Consider the Birds, takes inspiration from music heard growing up like Billy Joel, Buddy Holly, and Elton John, and blends it with new influences like Sufjan Stevens and Damien Rice to create their own version of piano pop. The songs are led by RD Bonner’s piano and storytelling lyrics that sound like a very young Ben Folds. From Central Florida, RD, Alyson, and Riah Bonner use piano, trumpet, soft percussion, bells, and strings in a simple, yet effective manner that doesn’t attempt to fill the space with heavy arrangements to create a feeling. – Written by DBosket
