Stolen Jars sophomore album <em>Kept<\/em> has a really good sound for fall: upbeat and clean, with simple lyrics sung over a cacophony of perfectly arranged yet\u00a0strange effects.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Another November&#8221; is one of my favorites, with Molly Grund singing instead of Cody Fitzgerald, who sings most of the songs. The guitar riffs in <em>Waves<\/em> and the intro to <em>Kept<\/em> are both reminiscent of Vampire Weekend \u2013 both bands have that Northeast sound, though Stolen Jars\u2019 hometown is Montclair, New Jersey. &#8220;Wreaths Rakes&#8221; is another track sung by Grund, where a Dirty Projectors influence comes in with her Deradoorian-like staccato. This album is beautifully layered, and intricate without being overwhelming \u2013 any song would be good for the radio, and would fit well with electronic, folk, or indie rock \u2013 it\u2019s a perfect combination of the three genres.<br \/>\n<b><br \/>\nRecommended If You Like: Adult Jazz, Dirty Projectors, Architecture in Helsinki, Vampire Weekend<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Recommended Tracks: 3, 7, 5, 1, 2, 10, 10<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Do Not Play: None<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Written by Allison McFall on 09\/16\/15 <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Influenced by Dirty Projectors, Adult Jazz, and the Northeast, Stolen Jars is the perfect fall rotation album.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":881,"featured_media":37085,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[182,4,3235,3230],"tags":[3548,3546,3547,3545],"class_list":["post-37045","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hip-hopelectronic-rotation","category-music","category-music-reviews","category-new-music-rotation","tag-cody-fitzgerald","tag-kept","tag-molly-grund","tag-stolen-jars"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/kept_cover_final-01.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37045","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\/881"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37045"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37045\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37085"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37045"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37045"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37045"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
