Tonight! Tonight in Music: My Autumn's Done Come & Honey Wars

Posted by Ned Lannamann on Tue, Nov 22, 2011 at 12:03 PM


MY AUTUMN'S DONE COME, HONEY WARS

(Bunk Bar, 1028 SE Water) Honey Wars' first full-length record, I'd Be Amazed—which follows their 2008 EP, The City Made Me Do It—is a solid collection of good-time rock (in fact, there's even a song called "Good Times"). Their biggest, hookiest numbers display a spry guitar interplay that evokes the Knack and the Cars, while I'd Be Amazed also finds room for a couple easy-breezy ballads and some back-porch stomp. Meanwhile, My Autumn's Done Come named three songs on their brand-new record Paper Flowers (also celebrating its release tonight) after bridges in Portland. Like the varied engineering and architectural styles that characterize all the different bridge-spans of the city, My Autumn's Done Come utilize a wide array of styles, from up-tempo, jangling rock to more meandering, soul-flecked mood pieces, but each song bears their affinity for vocal harmonies and pliant, nimble arrangements. A download of Paper Flowers is available on My Autumn's Done Come's website, while I'd Be Amazed is at Honey Wars' Bandcamp page. NED LANNAMANN
