Add Date: February 2
Artist: Akai
Album: The Coldest Hour (Is Just Before the Dawn)
Label: Self-released
Genre: Indie-rock
Comments: Akai's self-released album, The Coldest Hour (Is Just Before the Dawn) is a solid indie-rock album, full of a variety of instruments and alternating male-and-female vocals. The variety in the instrumentals and vocals is never jarring; instead, the album is full of smooth, never-sparse tracks that all have slightly different perspectives and focuses ("Drifted" is guitar and drum happy, whereas "Morning Follows Night" features a great trumpet line). The record is consistent in the layering of sound, and well worth a listen.

Thanks for turning me on to this album. I live in Minnesota and am a little disappointed in our local indie station (the current) because I had to find a great band from here via VA. Wow. Thanks again!
They're all in a weird religious cult from what I hear.
This guy says he's their brother. They've totally cut him off.
