Description:
With Roots & Crowns Chicago rustic-rock/soundscape experimentalists move to a brighter, more delicate folk rock sound than 2004 Heron King Blues. Steve Forstneger from the Illinois Entertainer, exclaims "Roots & Crowns retains Herons rumbling buzz and entrancing forest groove while keeping Quicksands melodic streak." The album is full of beautifully layered sounds capes and delicate melodies. The songs dont typically adhere to the verse, verse chorus structure. Instead the undenying beauty of the compositions makes up for whatever is lost in the sing-along department. (Thrill Jockey)
