I caught The Good Listeners live back in February before I knew anything about them. I was in luck to find another great band. Over the course of the last 5 months I was able to get a hold of the album and love it. Its a simply beautiful album. Complete with ambient forest sounds of birds and wind… hence Crane Point Lodge. The amazing thing is, Nathan Khyber and Clark Stiles started The Good Listeners in spring of 2006. They are a bit of a young band yet already have two albums under their belt. Their first LP, Ojai was a track a day in 10 days. If that doesn’t scream talent I don’t know what does. Their full length Crane Point Lodge is just too good not to listen. If I was to describe it in a couple words I would say organic, smooth, pop with the twang of blues and country. I’m never good at describing music and albums as music journalists do because I’m not one. The album just has a great feel to it… makes me want to listen to it on repeat on a road trip. Great summer music.
