Band Beat, a day late
Le Loup is a fun, five-man band from Washington, D.C., I recently found. Their song, Planes Like Vultures, is so soothing and makes me feel all hippie-like . . . I'm totally into feeling that way right now (as if you can't tell.) Below is a snippet from their bio page. And below that is the Planes Like Vultures vid. Check it!
Like most families, Le Loup has grown since its inception. What began as the bedroom project of Sam Simkoff is now a full-sized band, with all five members contributing vocals and songwriting credits. The band’s music – originally a blend of keyboard loops, banjo, and computer wizardry – has grown as well, encompassing everything from shape note harmonies to polyphonic percussion.
Planes Like Vultures
All too soon we’ve come to bloom
Blown about and dusty rivers
And pointed skywards, scrape the heavens
And should we end before we’re shriven
And call the names that we’ve been given
Grown in cities long since abandoned
Blown to pieces and thrown at random
This is what we see while standing
Long before the thought of landing
Oh this world was made for ending
Oh the storms that groan
Oh the lovely
Oh the homes that home
Oh the worlds not shown
Oh the storms that groan
Oh the lovely
Oh the homes that home
Oh the worlds not shown
Oh the storms that groan
Find the blind, de-blind
Our prayers our answered!
