Comments: It's jangling, it's drifting, it's strumming, it's foot-stomping: it's New Jersey-based River City Extension, and it's their sophomore album Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Your Anger. Produced by the man who's also helmed Iron & Wine, it's easy to pinpoint the elements that give RCE its stereotypically folksy sound. Nothing terribly revolutionary is going on with the album, but the 8-piece band does make some entertaining music. My favorite song came in the energetic "Down, Down, Down", but tracks 2, 4, 5 and 10 may also suit your fancy.
