“Less of a band than an exuberant orbit of bright weird planets circling the joyful kinesis of main-songster Theo Hilton, Nana Grizol’s debut album “Love It Love It” sees release on Orange Twin on May 13, 2008. Recorded in their hometown of Athens Georgia directly after a month-long tour of DIY spaces across the States, this record finds the band brimming with energy and rightly well-honed where live performance is concerned; “Love It Love It” sacrifices none of the band’s beloved, sweat-stained essence.

The crew augments Theo’s book-open vocals and beautiful fingerpicking with a suitably eclectic array of instrumentation. Laura Carter and Robbie Cucchiaro, both formerly of Athens’ legendary and notoriously horn-buoyed Neutral Milk Hotel, head up a brass-and-winds section comprised of Laura’s celebratory trumpet, Robbie’s Baritone Euphonium, a couple clarinets, harmonica, recorder and whatever else you can pack into a touring-trunk and bring along for a blast. Rhythmic backbone comes courtesy of Southern punkrock siren Madeline Adams’ bass, Matte Cathcart’s drumming and some right-on Fender Rhodes piano provided by Hot New Mexicans’ mainman Patrick Jennings.

The catchy, heartfelt crunch of the album’s opener, “Circles Round The Moon,” segues seamlessly into the brassy, beautiful circus-lullaby, “Tambourine-n-Thyme.” Things get sad and stripped down with “Tiny Rainbows” — a gentle plaint nudged toward the light by the brilliant horns. And “Broken Cityscapes” gets positively naked: Theo’s adamant vocal sounds above his acoustic guitar and a couple rattles.

    I'd like to add to the previous comment by saying that you should also try talking to Theo because he's a really really nice guy.

    There is nothing like this music and this band. If you ever get a chance to see them in person, drop everything and do it. This music hits right where its supposed to and I just wish they had as many albums as they do songs.
