ILLINOIS - SCREENDOOR


ARTIST / BAND: ILLINOIS
SONG (MP3): SCREENDOOR
ALBUM: What The Hell Do I Know?
FILE UNDER: Indie / Folk Rock / 2-step
LABEL: Ace Fu

INFO: Riding on a tractor of six strings, banjo samples and an extended metaphor comes Illinois, a band from Bucks County, Pennsylvania whose music conveys the Hopper/Rockwell-esque imagery of their home, a timeless place of raw emotion, where little league children still ride their bicycles in the street and the first girl you kissed is now your wife. The true history of Illinois is a mystery. What historians have pieced together is that originally, Chris “Arch” Archibald began recording ideas so he wouldn't forget them and that those ideas became songs.
