The Kin - Rise and Fall

These times, they are a changing.

Used to be that I as an older brother would discover new music and pass it on to my sister. But the other day as I was taking out the car that we share, I found a little LP in the center console. Curious I popped it into the CD player to see what kind of girl-rock she was listening to these days.

Long story short, it was nothing like I suspected. I picked up the paper CD case and looked at the cover - The Kin - Rise and Fall.

After some research, I discovered that the band is made up of two Australian brothers who recorded this CD in Buck County, PA, not that far from my home. My sister has no idea where she got the CD, but it looks like the ones you can pick up from an opening act a big concert.

What initially drew me into the CD was the fact that the first couple of songs feel like they were solely recorded for a movie, especially the second track, 'Together.' The sounds are quick and epic-like with lyrics that draw you in, not only to the song, but oddly enough make you more focused on the task at hand. As I type this post, I feel kind of empowered and focused, which is amazing considering how exhausted I should be.

If you want some music that can inspire you, pick you up and draw you in all at the same time, pick up this LP immediately.
