The Acorn have long been lauded/suggested by my fellow posters at Via Chicago, and, based on their recommendation and some great praise from fellow bloggers, I’ll be spinning Glory Hope Mountain all the way to Austin to check them out in person.

The group is keeping good company on the road these days, supporting the likes of Bowerbirds and Phosphorescent. If you’re looking for a little insight into the group, Dodge just posted up an interview and don’t miss Stereogum’s Quit Your Day Job feature on the group either.
