Why do we like this?
I'm tempted to conclude that banjos are the "coolest" thing to include in your lineup these days. But that's misleading. Rather, it's more appropriate to say that some good old-fashioned multi-instrumentalism is in fashion. Take Capybara, for example: these four guys quit their respective jobs in Brooklyn and Portland to cram into a van and travel through the deserts of New Mexico and up the coast of California. They packed xylophones, pianos, drums, etc. etc. etc. The result? A kickass mish-mash of folk-rock, folk-pop, indie-pop, you name it.

As the instrumentation grows to include trumpets and banjos, and as the band expands into falsetto-meets-baritone vocal harmonies, and as synth lines weave intricate melodies completely unique in the realm of folk, Try Brother becomes something else entirely "“ a conceptual album of experimental music with folk leanings that is truly par none - Fencepost
