THE NAME IS BOND. COVALENT BOND.

Thanks to blogger The Covalent Bond for designating “There Will Be Violins” as his “song of the day” for November 21. “The Sharp Things create lushly orchestrated pop gems with strong 70’s influences. In a way they remind me of The Decemberists crossed with Gordon Lightfoot, with the dominant genes coming from Gordon Lightfoot,” writes Mr. Bond. “The first song on their debut album Foxes and Hounds is my favorite. ‘There Will Be Violins’ does indeed have violins, guitars, drums, possibly a cello, and an Irish sounding infectious melody. The violins really do work here and I must credit The Sharp Things with going against the current musical fashions to create their own style.”
