Album cover: Or, The Whale, “Light Poles and Pines”

Or, The Whale

Light Poles and Pines

Buy It

Achieving rollicking bar tunes and gentle hammock-nappers with equal ability, Light Poles and Pines is a real hoot of an album. A big band with a clean, catchy sound, Or, the Whale would make Melville proud. Assuming Melville liked rootsy, folksy sing-alongs and driving tunes, that is.

The album drops on January 20, and you can buy it through the MySpace page.

Or the main page, which redirects.
