Vermont’s Chamberlin arrived @ the Stone House just fresh off the release of their debut album Bitter Blood as well as a couple of shows in Austin @ SXSW. Despite the fatigue – it’s safe to say the band delivered. Recommended if you enjoy the music of Band of Horses/My Morning Jacket.

From the bands website:

Up in their cabin, Chamberlin wrote a record stained with the influence of bonfires, harsh winters, geographical isolation and the women that seem to run perpendicular to their lives. From the electric opening track, “Fools” – a stormy, scathing rebuke of two lovers – to the resolute, mostly a capella “Sixty Days,” the nine songs on Bitter Blood are photographs, or perhaps photograms, of Chamberlin’s world, with varying degrees of aperture. Despite its title, Bitter Blood is not without pleasantries. For the band, while contemplative, is not jaded. “Turn Around,” the B3-laden third track, may even sound best as a drink-in-hand, late-night back porch sing-along. After all, “bitter blood,” as the title track asserts, “breaks like a cigarette.”

Time Out Chicago wrote, “Chamberlin plays a kind of wistful late-night Americana that could only come from a place where you can see the stars at night, clear as day.”
