Description:
"Long-time favourites in Torontos alt-folk community, Rock Plaza Central have quietly written a masterpiece with Are We Not Horses. The mantra, "I am an Excellent Steel Horse" contains definite Mountain Goat-isms in Chris Eatons deft wordplay and the song is simple yet captivating. John Darnielles presence is again apparent on Fifteen Hands, whose stirring, bohemian soundtrack is captured zealously by engineer Dale Morningstar. With their exuberant defiance, How Shall I to Heaven Aspire? and Our Hearts Will Not Rust sound like the kind of new-world western songs Will Oldham has perfected, and his tale-telling tics have been absorbed by Eaton...Rollicking and unhinged, Are We Not Horses contains a real physicality, as if lives hang in the balance with every utterance. Its a stunning and unexpected gem from Rock Plaza Central." -- Vish Khanna, exclaim.ca
