I've been a fan of Ra Ra Riot ever since I heard the single "Can You Tell" off of their first album, "The Rhumb Line," last year. They are an indie rock band from New York-- what makes them unique is their use of stringed instruments (they have a bassist, cellist, and violinist). Some of their songs are slow and sentimental (emotion is heightened by the strings) while other songs are upbeat and pop-ish. The strings add a unique sound to all of their sounds and the lead singer's great voice fits in perfectly. Their new album, "The Orchard," is one of my favorite albums thus far this year and its definitely worth a listen.
If you like the below songs, buy the album on Itunes.
