Tacks, the Boy Disaster, is an Austin, Texas based foursome with a plan. Their track "Man with a Plan," off their EP Oh, Beatrice, says it all. The song starts with a lonesome piano followed by a perfect combination of bass, drums, and guitar. Evan Porter, also of The Polyphonic Spree, sings sweetly to a woman named Beatrice, as he confesses that despite the cool he keeps, he still has "too much on his plate" around a table set for two.
I came across this album only recently and have been quite hooked since. I'm reminded of the of the beauty that Grizzly Bear graced my ears with upon their release of Yellow House a year ago. Very piano driven, this EP presents and beautifully tranquil sound, full of bells, whistles and perfectly constructed compositions which creates catchy melodic folk pop at its finest.
