Father Brian Finn by Right Away, Great CaptainWhy I like this song: It was close to the end of November and I hadn't used all the credits on my emusic.com account. An album was recommended to me called The Eventually Home by Right Away, Great Captain (a side project by Andy Hull, the lead singer of Manchester Orchestra). The album quickly became one of my favorites of the month and then the year. Hull is admittedly a big fan of David Bazan of Pedro the Lion fame. You can hear some similarities in song structure (certainly not the vocals though) in the following song.
Other reasons why I like this song:- I've said it before but I really like warm effects on electric guitars. You'll notice there's no bass guitar in the song but the lower end of the electric fills out really nicely.
- Both of the Right Away, Great Captain albums are concept albums about a sailor. I don't write music but I imagine concept albums take much intentionality and talent.
- Father Brian Finn is Ed Norton's character in Keeping the Faith. I didn't really enjoy the movie but I think we can all agree that Ed Norton is one bad mamma jamma.
