2 a.m. Orchestra

About 2 a.m. Orchestra

"2 (expired link). Orchestra plays emotional alt-pop with all the ups of a Ben Folds record and all the downs of a Radiohead epic." (Performing Songwriter Magazine, 5/03) Self-titled Release (2001)

From start to finish, the self titled release by 2 (expired link). Orchestra is a damn fine album. The songs are richly orchestrated, catchy as hell, and oftentimes revel in a dewy eyed wonder of the world. One of the finer albums of the year and one that reveals its many pleasures with each listening. ( Terry Eagan, (expired link), 2002)

This disc is a stirring listen. Youll listen hard, youll listen repeatedly, youll shush your loved onesnot wanting to miss a moment of the pure emotion embodied in these songs. I want to hear everything else they release(d), past, present and future. ((expired link), 1/04)
