Thao - We Brave Bee Stings and All

I have to thank NPR Music for introducing me to Thao. When I first heard "Bag of Hammers" I knew I had to get the album. This past week I've listened to the album over and over, and still can't get enough.

This is the perfect album to enter into spring. It's full of energy — perfect for warm weather excitement. Lyrics like, "And as sharp as I sting, as sharp as I sing, It still soothes you, doesn't it? Like a lick of ice cream" are both abstract and delightful.
