1 CENT CD: As Tall As Lions 'You Cant Take It With You'

Condition of CD:  Mint Condition !

As Tall As Lions are back with You Can't Take It With You, the highly anticipated follow up to 2006's self-titled full-length. As Tall As Lions already have a solid fanbase, last album has received rave reviews at Alternative Press, Stereogum, Death & Taxes and Spin among many others. The third full-length album by New York's As Tall as Lions, You Can't Take It With You, is a thoughtful, textured tour de force of soundscapes, vocal harmonies, melodies and insightful lyrics about the modern world.

One review reads 'As Tall As Lions' album called You Can't Take It With You is an unusual collection of songs, defying easy categorization. The overall vibe is an atmospheric melange of prog-rock, jazz, funk and bits of other styles. There are a lot of gentle, unobtrusive moments such as the swirl of synths, bass and muted trumpet and that opens the fifth track, "Duermete." After the intro, guitars gradually enter and then drums. The slow build of the song is vaguely reminiscent of Sigur Ros' music, a comparison strengthened by some of the lead vocalists' penchant for falsetto singing. (They alternate lead vocals on different songs.) ATAL also frequently use a lush harmonic mesh of backing vocals, though, something that makes their sound more distinctive. Along with the melodies, I like the ambient interludes such as an electronic meditation that closes out "Lost My Mind" and the quiet yet cathedral-big instrumental segment that segues into "In Case Of Rapture," a big contrast since "Rapture" turns out to be the album's most rockin' cut. Actually, I shouldn't give the impression that the CD is all atmospherics, as the band does lay down some heavier sounds elsewhere too, as on "Is This Tomorrow?" But ultimately it's the softer passages I found most memorable, especially the songs "Sleepyhead" and "Lost My Mind." The latter tune is especially haunting, as with PJ Harvey or Thom Yorke in their more introspective moods. '.
