Fire Drill
Review:
Alphabet Graveyard by the Gentleman Auction House is an indie pop record that has great melodies and dabbles into other genres to keep your interest. Everything from folkish ballads to a rhythmic Motown vibe and some reggae tinged let GAH keep you guessing. Overall a fun release that has the same sound as a Bright Eyes or Arcade Fire but with a more upbeat attitude and carefree approach, which lets Alphabet Graveyard just provide what it is - indie bliss!

Key Track:
"Call It Casual"

Band With Similar Fire: Bright Eyes

The Book Of Matches (mp3)
A Good Son (mp3)
