Argonaut
Forever
(keymailorder.com/forever)
ARGONAUT has everything alternative rock should be but rarely is. Carving new shapes into old formations, their unique style — engaging the grey matter yet danceable — is earthy but technically astute, cryptic but politically savvy.
Forever, their third studio effort, is an album that shows that their music has grown up to be as elegant as one of lead singer Lorna Argonaut's vintage dresses.
