Ever hear of the term folk-chestral? Well, I really hadn't either until I heard the single Switzerland from the Chesapeake, VA based band The Last Bison. Their debut album, Quill, was released almost a year ago, and it has taken them a while but they finally put out a visually stunning video for the single. The entire album is one beautiful piece of art.Tangled with lively violins and whimsical banjo rifts, "Switzerland" hinges on the similar sounds of Mumford & Sons and Fleet Foxes. The seven-member band grew from jamming in a living room to a real live act that reflects in their root-sy quality and complex arrangements. With such a wide range of instruments, the band has really created a unique sound that, while may sound similar to other artists, makes them a hybrid that truly stands out.Watch the video here:Upcoming concerts:Los Angeles - September 1st - Hotel CafeSan Diego - September 3rd - Soda BarSan Francisco - September 4th - Cafe Du Nord
