Bravestation are a band from Toronto who recently released their second EP, 2010. I just checked it out, and it’s 5 songs of awesome. Rich layered harmonies, colorful harmonies, lively percussion. There is a huge pool of bands I could pull from that Bravestation’s sound reminds me off. Their vocal especially remind me of Yeasayer, & Local Natives. There’s a little bit of The Talking Heads here and there. These guys craft home cooked songs that sound good upon first listen, but grow into beautiful favorites.
I haven’t turned off this EP ever since I first played it. Each song is engaging and warm in its own way. There are hooks, but there are also emotional moments. Yeah, they got it all.
