The Welcome Wagon – Light Up The Stairs (New/Sealed CD) Tooth & Nail Records 2017
Tooth & Nail Records 2017
New/Sealed CD
It’s very easy to overlook the numerous eclectic and eccentric art-folk bands that exist. Sufjan Stevens is certainly the most notable – and along with his record label, Asthmatic Kitty, other such bands have also gotten some attention. The Welcome Wagon, of Asthmatic Kitty fame, is a new addition to the Tooth & Nail roster and have released Light Up the Stairs after a successful crowdfunding campaign. Sonically, the husband-wife duo finds themselves alongside Half-Handed Cloud, Danielson Famille, Songs of Water, and the aforementioned Sufjan Stevens.
Light Up the Stairs is the third full-length offering from Rev. Vito Aiuto and his wife, Monique Aiuto. It serves as a follow-up to 2012’s Precious Remedies Against Satan’s Devices. Unsurprisingly, it’s an interesting blend of sounds: on some songs, gospel and soul elements are front and center; other times, orchestral elements are the main foundation. In spite of the variety, for the sake of the reader, I’d clarify the style as folk with elements of chamber pop.
