The Last Bison, formerly known equally Bison, is an indie folk band that formed in Chesapeake, Virginia. The Last Bison originally dubbed their sound "mount-summit chamber music" combining elements of culling indie-folk with classical sensibilities. Their first album Quill was released independently in September 2011 and received critical praise noting the band'southward circuitous arrangements, refined lyrics and vocal harmonies.[three]
History [edit]
The band initially received airplay on WROX-FM in Norfolk, Virginia.[4] [5] James Steele, the station's plan director, stated that "Switzerland", the first single from their debut album, prompted the biggest audition response of whatsoever tune in his five years at the station.[vi] The ring was signed to Universal Republic records in 2012, and released three projects with the label: the Inheritance EP, the Inheritance album, and the Sleigh Ride EP. The option to continue for another album cycle with Republic was not renewed, and in February 2014 the band became independent. In Apr 2014 The Last Bison began recording their tertiary full-length album, VA, which was released independently in September 2014. They released an EP, Dorado, in 2015.
Ben Hardesty'south (vocals and guitar) songwriting bears sonic resemblance to groups such as Armada Foxes, Mumford and Sons and The Decemberists.[7] Folkhive stated "Dare I say that [The Concluding] Bison is to folk what Arcade Burn down is to indie rock? Boasting 7 members and a sound seemingly born on the tree covered mount tops of Virginia [The Final] Bison lays downward expansive and yet imminently listenable folk with an original feel I've not experienced in quite some time".[viii] [ unreliable source ] The band incorporates traditional folk instruments with a reed organ, percussion and classical strings. Independent Clauses stated "[The Concluding] Bison'southward debut album Quill uses the seriousness of Fleet Foxes' grounded sound every bit a framework, layering strings, bells and more than on top. "Iscariot" and "The Woodcutter's Son" take a darkly pastoral bent that recalls pre-The King Is Dead Decemberists."[9] [ unreliable source ] The Last Bison has headlined the Norva Theatre in Norfolk[10] also as performed with the Virginia Symphony Orchestra.[11] The Daily Press said of Bison's live performance, "The stars of [the] show did not disappoint. Bison skillfully performed complex arrangements and delivered songs with passion and sensitivity [...] [The Last] Bison is a unique musical outfit that creates an unusual energy on phase."[12]
Proper name alter [edit]
According to an electronic mail sent out by the band on July 20, 2012, they officially inverse their name from Bison to The Concluding Bison to avert defoliation with an identically named band.
