CD REVIEW: Jones Street Station "In Verses"

One of the finest indie rock albums to come out in recent years, this sleeper by Jones Street Station is not to be passed up. Just as bands like Dawes, Bon Iver, The Avett Brothers, and Fleet Foxes have been able to do in recent months, this band's down to Earth simple approach to song crafting is what defines them and makes their debut album excellent. There is no question that songs like "Evergreen" and "Slow Lights" can hold their own against anything that is making critical waves in the indie world these days. Their harmonies are awesome. The instrumentation is first class. And, the delivery of the album is seamless. This is surely the beginning of a fruitful career for Jones Street Station, as long as they keep cranking out gems like this.
