The Cold Comfort Band
Posted by Flick - 14/12/07 at 06:12:27 am
Oconomowoc, Wisconsin usually isn’t the town you think of when indie music comes up in conversation, but The Cold Comfort Band is out to challenge your preconceived notions. Their sound is indelibly influenced by their surrounding landscape, and they make no attempt to hide the silo of corn in the background; rather, they pose with it in a band photo as all eight members hang off the edge. The Cold Comfort Band seemingly begs of Sufjan Stevens to move North to Wisconsin and join them in their experimental folk.
Formed in Sprint of 2007, The Cold Comfort Band have posted two demos on Myspace and Purevolume and they’re worth your attention. At first impression, Rae Klagstad’s angelic voice is reminiscent of the Taxi Taxi! sisters. 
She’s not afraid of using her range, and remains in control with every note. But this band is not only fueled by a strong vocalist, seven members bring their wide range of influences with them as they play their trumpet, sax, and guitars.
The Cold Comfort Band hint of numerous directions they could take with their sound, and will be an exciting group to scope… even more thrilling than saying Oconomowoc.
