Thanks to Jordan Reyne though, this morose tale is told beautifully. A Celtic influence is heard throughout the 55 minutes, with bagpipes, mandolins and drums setting the stage for Reyne\u2019s voice. Rather than being a straightforward Celtic romp though, there are also many other influences present, including folk, industrial rock and alternative rock.<\/p>\n<p>This is a beautiful album, however, it really isn\u2019t meant to be experienced one song at a time. This is something that needs to be listened to as a whole to really be appreciated; it is a story after all. To spark interest though, tracks 7 and 11 stand-alone fairly well. Check this out if you\u2019re interested a narrative type album.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reviewed by:<\/strong> Brendan Higginbottom<\/p>\n<p><strong>RIYL:<\/strong> \u00a0The Decemberists<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recommended Tracks:<\/strong> 7, 11<\/p>\n<p><strong>FCC Warning:<\/strong> None<\/p>\n<p><strong>Label:<\/strong>  Factory Nation<\/p>\n<p><strong>Release Date:<\/strong> 24 October 2011<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A folky-Celtic-alternative mash up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":3309,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3230,181],"tags":[340],"class_list":["post-3308","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-music-rotation","category-rock-rotation","tag-brendan-higginbottom"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/COAFNcover.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3308","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3308"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3308\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3309"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3308"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3308"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3308"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
