Fetch The Compass Kids [ CD / Album ]

Danielson Famile's latest album, "Fetch The Compass Kids," is like stumbling upon a wacky musical treasure trove hidden in the depths of a psychedelic forest. With their distinctive blend of indie folk, experimental pop, and a touch of whimsical madness, this band continues to march to the beat of their own drum (quite literally, as they incorporate a toy drum kit into their live performances).

Lead singer Daniel Smith's unique vocal stylings are an acquired taste, reminiscent of a deranged choir leader leading his flock of misfit musicians through a labyrinth of musical madness. The infectious energy of tracks like "Did I Step on Your Trumpet?" and "Five Stars and Two Thumbs Up" will have you tapping your feet and scratching your head in equal measure.

The band's eccentric instrumentation, including toy instruments, bells, and even a cowbell or two, adds an element of childlike wonder to their sound. It's as if a group of hyperactive kindergarteners raided a music store and decided to start a band.

While "Fetch The Compass Kids" may not be for everyone, those who appreciate quirky, unorthodox musical offerings will find plenty to love in this album. So grab your compass, rally the kids, and embark on a musical journey that is sure to leave you scratching your head and tapping your feet in equal measure.
