Weaver At the Loom "I Was Searching And I Found"

This is a bit of "clean up" from the full webzine days. Long-time contributor Andrew Faust had written this review around the time we scaled back to an mp3 blog:

It has been a while since I last reviewed, well... anything at all. Enter Weaver At The Loom, an emotionally charged piano-rock band from my home, the Twin Cities. Now, usually I don't listen to this genre of music, but I gave them a chance one afternoon and again a couple days later, and realized that they put me in the perfect mood on two completely separate days. At this point, I knew I was hooked and ready to give the whole album a listen.

Weaver At The Loom plays a mish-mash of Copeland, The Rocket Summer and Dashboard Confessional. Luckily, out of all the cues they take from other bands, it's the whole Copeland-Eat, Sleep, Repeat-feel that makes me want to wrap up in a blanket and think about cute girls all night. Honestly, a lot of the songs remind me of track six, "I'm safer in an airplane" off Eat, Sleep, Repeat, which isn't bad at all; actually, it happens to be my favorite track off that album, so kudos.

Weaver At The Loom has a down-tempo, soft-touch type of sound. The album never really gets intense at any point, and stays true to its sound throughout the whole EP. Most of the album's vocals have the soft-spoken confidence that you'd expect from a band like this. The production is absolutely perfect, uplifting when played loud, relaxing when played softer. But my favorite part is the fact that they keep the whole album simple from beginning to end. It hooks you in and settles you down, keeps you content, and enthralls you to keep pressing repeat. This is a great effort from this up and coming Minnesota band.

My iTunes classified Weaver At The Loom as "Easy Listening," which is actually perfect for this band. This is the album to put in when you're with a hottie and just want to sit around and make out. At this very point I'm actually calling hotties trying to get this going, so check this fucking band out if you want to just chill out, smile, and enjoy life.

Check out a song and pick up a hottie, as Faust would say: Weaver At the Loom- Buck Up, They're Coming

You gotta pick this one up straight from the band. But at least you know where you're money's going...
