New Additions: Colors Of The Year album by The Whiles

To call this a new addition is a bit of cheat. I did own this record when it came out but during my massive physical media purge of the mid-2000s, it ended up at a record store and all I had were poorly ripped MP3s. I'm glad to have the debut album by The Whiles back in my collection. Colors Of The Year did not connect with me a first, I heard similarities to 2000s Wilco that rubbed me the wrong way at the time, but having returned to it, I hear it with greater depth and understanding of what they were doing. Most of all, I have a better appreciation of what Joe and Zack were doing vocally and have a broader catalog of music to draw from for comparisons.
