Don’t Let It Go Now…
Filed Under Album Picks, News & Info.
Other Lives hails from Stillwater, Oklahoma, their debut self titled album was released this month… And it is really a well put together beautiful album. Their music has been said to draw similarities to that of label mate Radiohead and although I do hear a Radiohead influence the sound is entirely their own… Folk and rock mixed with a strong classical influence of gorgeous string and piano arrangements accompanied by haunting vocals. The whole album is an accomplishment indeed, I enjoyed from the beginning to the end and I hope you do as well.
Now, I thought this was a most appropriate moment, where all the stars aligned. I must wish dearest Pip a very Happy Birthday today, I hope it was a great day and an even greater year. Cheers Pip!

Why thank you!
Muchas smoochas!
ps – the music is fantastic as always :)
Ack, I missed it! Well, happy Birthday anyway. If my math is right, this is the top of the hill.
Top of the hill? It’s the end of the line! I’m just going to die in peace…
wow i really really love this.
Hey! Okay, so I found your site because I was looking up stuff about daniel martin moore a few weeks ago, and you had propped him on here. but anyway, so i decided to drop by, and who do i see but the other lives?
i agree their music is great on the album. but i saw them live back in february because they were supporting delta spirit [who were freaking brilliant], and i was disappointed, really. on the album, you get the fullness of their songs, but it didn’t translate well onstage. SUPER nice guys [and girl], though. the other supporting act, dawes, is worth checking out, as well.
also, WHY THE LACK OF MATT COSTA???
i see you’re going to the oc music awards. i think he’s up for best indie.
Thanks Kallie for stopping by. I really want to see Other Lives live now, to see what I think.
Matt Costa is alright, he just doesn’t “sing” to me like lets say Alexi Murdoch does. Plus I wanted to high light someone who is not as well known. :-)
haha, well I can respect the bit on Matt. He just happens to be my favorite. There’s something about him that sings to my soul. I think it’s his large amount of focus on the melody. I’m big on melodies. :D Plus, live he is amazing, and he’s also the nicest guy I’ve ever met. And dorky and funny, as well. always a winner haha.
And yeah, I would definitely say check other lives out because it’s possible that they just had a bad night. You can post a little review. They’re on tour with the decemberists right now, i do believe {or will be soon?).
I really do love your blog, though. It entertains me haha
