i still believe that nothing here is changed.

If you like nice neat labels for your music, then buy Our Lady of Bells' Forgetting the Way Home and place the CD safely in the indie-folk chamber pop section of your library under the sub-category of "Current Favorites." This five-piece from Massachusetts quickly grew from songwriter Jules Gimbrone's work and their music would take on a life and personality of it's own. One that, according to Christopher Wilkey of the Northeast Performer Magazine, "...would lay stone paths to the garden in its yard on the weekends. It hang the laundry out to dry barefoot in the front yard. It would roll down grassy hills."
There's simply something about the mandolin that I find happy and charming, which is somehow fitting for this band that finds comfort in the "hauntingly spare quality for which they've become known."
Listen to two songs from their full-length right here and two more on their MySpace. Go. I'm pretty sure you'll like "Oh My Oh My."
