Jason Roy a musician from Grand Rapids, Michigan and essentially the driving force behind The Soods is responsible for a noteworthy, wistful album called Ornaments of Affection which came out last year.
Cosmic and awestruck and very, very American in the manner of forbears such as Chris Bell, Gram Parsons, Mercury Rev, Flaming Lips and Kurt Vile, The Soods gaze in wonder at the marvels the universe offers on a daily basis, partaking occasionally I suspect of substances that enhance the fabulous experience.
Not every track here goes anywhere really, so this would be a seven out of ten for me, but there are a handfuls of moments that transcend that rating and I've tried to post them here.
