If you weren't already aware, the iTunes Store offers certain freebies every week. This week I was really excited to see that the Single of the Week was by a band that's been lurking in my library for a while now. The band I'm speaking of is The Guggenheim Grotto [official site], a folk band from Dublin.
I'm not certain I can pinpoint what, exactly, is so good about this band. They definitely sound good in my ears. Maybe it's their delicate acoustic sound or their resonant harmonies. Even though they seem to be labeled as folk, I would say that their sound is something closer to bluegrass (though I think this distinction is probably just splitting hairs).
So today I present to you five songs which I believe comprise their EP entitled A Lifetime in Heat. [I apologize, but I think the first track is actually incomplete.] This EP is available for free download from the band's official website. My favorite tracks are "One for Sorrow" and "Cold Truth."
Click the iTunes link below the widget to get the free download of a new song called "Philosophia." You can hear even more tracks from the band's album ...Waltzing Alone at their myspace.
