All Get Out - "Water and God" (2008)

All Get Out is a relatively new band of four guys from South Carolina. I discovered them after hearing them mentioned in an interview with Manchester Orchestra front man Andy Hull. The band is currently signed to his Favorite Gentleman Recordings, which released their debut EP back in January. The Spitting EP consists of five songs that run the gamut from synth-infused pop, to piano balladry, to straight up guitar rock. After checking out today’s song on the band’s Myspace several times, I went ahead and got the whole EP a couple weeks ago and I haven’t stopped listening to it. Especially of note is the heart felt piano driven closer “Three More, I Guess,” a sparse arrangement that finds front man Nathan Hussey going from a near whisper to an emotional crescendo backed with beautiful female vocals. Today’s song is definitely the reason to get The Spitting EP. “Water and God” has one of the best keyboard hooks I’ve heard in a while and some excellent lyrics as well, with a vocal style somewhere between The Format and The Weakerthans. It’s sure to get lodged in your brain. All Get Out is a very promising new band and I’m eagerly awaiting a full length from these guys.
