COLOSSAL GOSPEL-Circles

If Fozzie Bear decided to become an indie rocker, he might sound something like Alabama’s Colossal Gospel.  So, if you’re unwilling to grow accustomed to a voice that sounds a little strained (and harmonies that, oddly, seem to match), this isn’t for you.  But trust me, if you stick with it, it’s worth it.  In fact, the voices sound like men trying hard to speak, fighting through either exhaustion or pain to form words, and it feels appropriate for this gospel-folk record.

I’ve listened to Circles several times now.  Gets better every time.

Get it for just five bucks–support the artist!  Plus, they covered my favorite artist from-when-I-was-ten, Pat Benetar!  And you can cop that cover for free!
