Digging Holes Album Review

Simple and charming; just a few choice words to sum up the overall vibe, of indie folk rockers, Rose and the Wooden Hearts. A refreshing change from the more male dominated role in Indie; female vocalist, Rose Fischer, bringing a sweet melody that gives the rest of the Wooden Hearts a light, feminine feel. But don’t get too despondent. As beautiful as the tones are there is plenty of catchy riffs and hooking choruses to mingle with all that prettiness.

A great opening track, Digging Holes is very airy and has some of the most ear catching vocals that to put it simply just plain rocks. I’m pleasantly surprised to find my own toe tapping along. Add a splash of The Allman Brothers and the Dixie Chicks and you’ll discover, Cold, Oh Why it has that distinct country swagger, instantly reminding you of a clichéd American barn dance, while couples gently sway in each other’s arms. Awesome by far the standout track and must listen number would be North of the Mountain. A song so beautiful, you have to stop what you’re doing and let the melody take you away. With harmonic overtones and gentle percussion, you can’t miss this track. Just beautiful.
