As promised, here’s the last set from Tuesday night, featuring another Canadian band, The Acorn. Lisa has a great review of the night posted at Reverb, and she’s right on target by pointing out that syncopation sets this band apart from the rest of the pack.  While the songs are undeniably folk-rock, complex drum/bass rhythms and a judicious use of harmonics result in a sound that stretches toward acts like Battles or Dirty Projectors.  This makes for a very interesting listen.
