Family by Le Loup

« Sam Simkoff and his six Craigslist-sourced bandmates from Washington DC make for a harmonious family on this gorgeous, richly surprising second album. While their name (“the wolf” in French) seems to cock a snook at the vogue for lupine band names, Le Loup aren’t too snooty to wear their influences on their sleeves. No bad thing in this case: Fleet Foxes-style Appalachian sounds and hymnal harmonies are artfully blended with the avant garde leanings of Animal Collective to make a gem that shouldn’t be kept hidden. » H. Hoby, The Observer.
