All Get Out - "Time and Place" (2010)

All Get Out is a great indie band from Charleston, SC that I've featured a couple times before. The band has been around for a few years now, but only have only released two EPs, the second of which was just a reworking of the first with two new tracks. I really like this band, but up until now, they've only actually released seven songs. I suggest you check out their self-titled EP, because it's the best seven bucks you'll spend on music this month. The band recently announced that they will soon be heading to the studio to record their first proper full length and I am eagerly anticipating the results. As a means of tiding over their fans, they stopped by the Daytrotter studios and laid down some new tracks for our listening pleasure. I stumbled across Daytrotter.com a while back and I am greatly impressed with the premise of the site. Every day, they offer up three to four songs from a different band, all of which are recorded live in their studios with no overdubs. A majority of the bands are quite obscure, but they have had some bigger names like Death Cab for Cutie, Fleet Foxes and Thrice stop by. The tracks are available for free download and it's a great way to get some rare music from some of your favorite bands or as a way to get into new bands. In the case of All Get Out, it provided them with the opportunity to release some new music before their record gets done. The three songs from this session are outstanding and I've been humming or singing all of them at some point in the last couple weeks. Daytrotter sessions are usually quite stripped down instrumentally and theirs is no exception. All three songs feature acoustic guitar heavily and I wonder if they'll be amped up on the record. Today's song is the standout for me because the lyrics are great and the tune is infectious. So if you're unfamiliar with All Get Out, check out the EP and definitely the songs from this session. I'll let you know about the full length, as it's on my list of most anticipated records of the year.
