JANUARY 2009 - WOLVES, HAWKS & KITES - BEST OF 08

The simplest testament to the greatness of Bruce Peninsula’s debut full-length that I can offer is the fact that it has made it on to this list after only being released (digitally) a few weeks go. Rife with anthemic choir-folk, A Mountain Is a Mouth manages to be undeniably epic, while still remaining humbly down to Earth. Add to that a driving sense of urgency and the result is simply invigorating.
