Put It All In One Place and Burn It, the debut release from Hi Ho Silver Oh, impresses as a mix of indie folk and rock with gorgeous strings and added effects. Originally from North Carolina, frontman Casey Trela moved out to Los Angeles and gradually began playing and writing songs with Philly Eastman and fellow North Carolinians Jon Mackey and Wil Donegan. This album is immediately engaging. The songs pick up right when you want them to; there isn’t a boring moment in the entire set. Traces of My Morning Jacket, Fleet Foxes, Local Natives and Roy Orbison are present, but not overpowering. This four-piece especially stands out on “Communion,” which has a stunning string arrangement that elevates what you think might be your run-of-the-mill acoustic song to a surprisingly affecting and haunting song about truth and spirituality. – Written by DBosket
