The Lone Bellow - Then Came The Morning

The Lone Bellow know their lane - buildingly anthemic, impassionedly harmonies-filled rock with a country/folk flavour - and when they're in it, they're convincing. The difficulty is that, after several in a row, as makes up more or less the first half of Then Came The Morning (amongst which I reckon "Marietta" is probably my favourite), it starts to sound just a little bit familiar, and they're not as compelling when they explore a slightly broader musical range. Even still, this is good.
