This release marks the beginning of an innovative stage for Settlefish: one that finds the band flexing its musical muscle, composing songs that shift from sweeping, haunting miniepics to terse, pulsating blasts of cacophony, wrenching and wringing the unmistakably American genre of indie rock into an inventive sound bursting with an unconventional European perspective. Settlefish revels in the forays of sound that boil below the surface of ordinary experience...and it's this sort of exploration that propels their sophomore release into unexpected, exhilarating directions. A sprawling, poignant body of work, tightly wound with imagination and joined with turbulent bouts of instrumental discord, The Plural Of The Choir is the band's greatest accomplishment not only through music, but also words, mood, art and environment. Produced by Brian Deck Modest Mouse, Iron Wine, Tortoise, The Sea And Cake. Artwork by Tae Won Yu, Built To Spill, Beck, Versus, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion.
