Bellwether - Stinging Nettles

2006 release, their fifth album overall, is subtle and layered, showcasing the band's expanding sonic palate. Their signature laid-back country sound, lead by Eric Luoma's warm, earthy vocal, is still present. This has given them room for both artistic growth and album concept. Like a stinging nettle, life can be irritating; full of hardships and heartbreaks that are painful but not permanently disabling. This release showcases a band that has learned that that the older you get, the more complex life can be. Stinging Nettles demands that you listen loud, lest you miss the subtlety. Rosa.
