I’ve been a fan of Bound Stems since my friend Mollie said I should check them out at CMJ a few years ago. Sometime in late 2008 they released The Family Afloat on Flameshovel records. It had been a couple years and my hopes were high.
One of the standout tracks on the album is “Cloak of Blue Sky” which also happens to be a great introduction to the band. We were hoping to see them in Austin for SXSW but word on the streets is that the lead singer is a history teacher and can’t get the time off work. Damn kids.
