\"\"If you\u2019re looking for some road-tripping tunes, look no further. Somehow seamlessly combining the twang of back-country folk, instrumental ambience, and upbeat indie pop groove, sit down be small<\/em> is a perfect album for the transition from summer to fall. Despite the album\u2019s overall light-hearted sound, many of the lyrics are quite profound\u2014and dark, at times. For example, in one of the standout songs on the album, \u201cBurn Me,\u201d the lead singer invites the song\u2019s subject to \u2018burn my home, it\u2019s my home \/ dig until you hit the bone.\u2019<\/p>\n

Moonweather is an eccentric trio from Cincinnati, Ohio. While Bill Hodge, Colin Hoell, and Bobby Burgess are the group\u2019s permanent members, twelve other musical instrumentalists also appear on sit down be small. This sound diversity is clearly reflected; each track lends its own unique flair to the album\u2019s overall composition, from the cacophonous outro of \u201cBurn Me\u201d to the cheerful banjo line in \u201cRolling Over\u201d to the soothing guitar picking and vocals of \u201cIsabelle.\u201d<\/p>\n

For a debut, this album is surprisingly complex and dynamic. Moonweather has broken into the music scene with tunes both innovative and enjoyable and has set high expectations for future releases. Until then, we\u2019ll be basking in the chill vibes of sit down be small<\/em>.
