Because how can a group capture, within the confines of a studio, that same free-spirited magnetism that makes them so good on stage? This is especially true in the case of The Last Call, fronted by former Kerouac or the Radio singer/songwriter Jeff Markham. The band, which reformed in part from the ashes of Kerouac, transformed its formerly sleek, dark indie-rock sound into something raw and joyful, rehearsed but loose, thoughtful but heart-on-sleeve... ...Simple, driving rhythms, finger-style guitar, tambourine, syncopated, up-front vocals and a tender-happy feel make this exactly the kind of song that would bring fans of The Avett Brothers, Jack Johnson and Arcade Fire all to the table...”

But try watching the band's video for "Baby It's Gone," shot on the LaZoom tour bus earlier this year, and not crack a grin. The song's slow-core intro gives way to a...

— Ali Marshall, "Like playing naked"

“The Asheville quartet, which also features multi-instrumentalist Justin Lee, drummer Jonny Darko and bassist John Hamrick, recorded a five song EP “Best of Time” earlier this year. The title track is leafy, Zach Braff-ready indie.”

— Matt Wake, Metromix
