I wrote a proper review on this on We Own This Town but I'd be remiss for not adding a note about it here as well. Fountainhead, the latest album from Volunteer Department, is not to be missed. It's a heavily layered record - lots of fascinating arrangements and vocal interplay. It also feels like a subdued record at first; possibly more withdrawn than what you may expect to hear from this site but I stand by the recommendation. Listen to "Darkness Wheel" or watch the video for "Old Friend" - they serve as great introductions to the album.

It's a heavy record but not one to be overlooked.
