So my friend messaged me about Volunteer Pioneer, adding that she liked it, but didn’t want to. And after spending a day with it, I can see why. They try so hard to be dramatic… that it actually kind of works. Allow me to explain.
MP3: Volunteer Pioneer – Separate Planes
Volunteer Pioneer are a product of the times. I can’t accuse them of bandwagoning with their Arcade Fire-meets-Bright Eyes sound, but I can say that they’re emotive. And while it sometimesis it might not have worked out exactly as they planned (the 1:25 mark), I just can’t stop enjoying it. Blame the playfully plunked piano melody or the barely audible harp, but something has me hooked.
