Album Of The Day: The Cannonballers by Colony House

Album Art of Colony House's The Cannonballers album - A photo of a pool from above, with an aqua blue hue and parts of it are whiter than others from the light bending through the water. In the top right, above the water is the torso and arms and legs of a white kid in red swim trunks, with his legs tucked under his chest. In the bottom left, you can see his shadow on the water. In the middle, printed above the photo is 'The Cannonballers by Colony House', in an off-white color and a jaunty font, with the album title bigger and the band name smaller.

Colony House is the band I've seen play live most in the last 10 years, I think. (I fact checked myself and this is correct. Colony House 9 times, Switchfoot only 7.) This is Colony House's latest album, a short but quality set of new songs. The album starts out sounding like a surf rock album, but after a few songs it seems to go back to just standard indie rock. Though I certainly don't mind. Many of the songs are just fun celebrations of life, while some others are encouragement and commiserating through hardship. And there's of course a few love songs as well. These four guys put on a great live show, and I enjoy all their albums a lot. Give them a listen if you haven't yet.
