Album of the Week: Half Moon Run - Dark Eyes

     I'm a little late with your Album of the Week this week, but don't let that stop you from sinking your teeth into it. It's up to you to be the good student when I'm being the bad teacher.

     That being said, the material you're going to be sinking your teeth into isn't our usual fare around here, although I have written about this band before. Half Moon Run is an indie-rock-folk-type outfit, but to call them just that kind of thing would be to fall so, so short of the mark.

     There's some great instrumentation going on on this week's album Dark Eyes, along with some beautiful, haunting melodies, shot through with melancholy. Like I said, it's not a metal record, but there's plenty here for a metalhead to get into. It's got the depth to hold your interest, but remains chill enough that it'd be perfect for some summer's-almost-over-time this weekend. So spin it a few times and come back next week for something a little heavier...
