The Lumineers also pick up some interesting topics in their songs. One song particularly worth a listen is \u201cClassy Girls,\u201d which reminds the listener that \u201cclassy girls don\u2019t kiss in bars.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another interesting aspect of the album is that every song tells a little story. Whether it\u2019s the traditionally folk cuts like \u201cCharlie Boy\u201d and \u201cDead Sea\u201d or songs that showcase the band\u2019s pop side, such as \u201cSubmarines\u201d and \u201cBig Parade,\u201d you\u2019ll be hooked and thoroughly absorbed from start to finish.\u00a0Those who like bands like Bright Eyes, Fleet Foxes, or The Rural Alberta Advantage will be into the sounds that The Lumineers offer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Lumineers The Lumineers (Dualtone Music Group) 4\/5 Born in the Mile High City of Denver, Colorado, The Lumineers are bringing an upbeat folk-rock sound to the scene.
