Weathervanes is the debut album from this unfortunately-named band from Queens. Their music is much more interesting than their hippy-dippy name (which came up on The AV Club's 2009 list of bad band names) would otherwise indicate. Their sound owes quite a bit to bands like Death Cab for Cutie and Belle and Sebastian, with a nod to the neo-folk-rock movement, but is just different enough to stand out. It didn't knock my socks off, but I liked this record.
