Album Of The Week: Chronographic by Filbert

Filbert is a wonderfully oddball indie rock band from Stockton, CA. They dapple in an excellent combination of indie, folk, the odd touch of emo, and the occasional 90s hip hop touch. They sound slightly like if you threw Modest Mouse, The Front Bottoms, Modern Baseball and a bunch of eclectic influences all into one musical melting pot and piled the results high onto a slightly scratched record. Their new album Chronographic is a modern answer to The Lonesome Crowded West with a slightly lighter, more accessible edge. Tracks such as "Collections" and "Between Seams" are memorable in a highly natural manner, and throughout the entire release, the lyrics flow in a likable, "everyday poet" type of way. Chronographic is an album to soundtrack being young and a little aimless, and is a superb release from a relatively new band. And "Headphones" is perfect.
