Typhoon | Music Monday Discovery

I am spinning over a Music Monday Discovery today. If someone told me about this band I didn't listen, I apologize. Typhoon is a Portland band (Facebook, Twitter) that just released a new EP, A New Kind of House. I found it because it's streaming FREE at Spinner. It's one of my favorite kinds of music, with surprising instruments and striking harmonies. And these guys know how to build up to a moment, to develop a sense of anticipation in the hearer. Had to go buy it. They also have a 2010 album, Hunger and Thirst.

Here's a video for the first song off A New Kind of House, "The Honest Truth." Creative, engaging, & thoughtful. I encourage you to follow along with the lyrics. They are interesting.
