Mark my words: Great Peacock will be a name on everyone’s lips by the end of the year.
That is, if they keep producing music that is as rich and fully-realized as the five songs on their debut EP.
While the songs — particularly “Take Me to the Mountain” — would fit comfortably in a Windows tablet ad, Great Peacock is not simply another indie folk band.
Members Andrew Nelson and Blount Floyd have been playing together for years. Given the near perfection of their harmonization and the obvious chemistry between the two, we shouldn’t be surprised.
There’s a passion and excitement in this music that you won’t find from a couple of twenty-somethings who want to imitate the Lumineers. These guys believe in their work. Whatever came before it has culminated in this EP, and it’s quite a product. Get yer paws on it.
