Opening Tracks

I've had some conversations recently with local musicians about one of my favorite topics, song sequencing on albums. I love an album with a well-thought-out sequence of tracks, and especially if it's a concept album of some sort. Seattle's Dining Dead ticks all those boxes for me on the stunning release from earlier this year, Is This a House? The opening track, Overture, is perfection. The way it leads into Against The Wall, and the whole flow of the album, is an absolute work of art. Start here, but please, please listen to the whole album, straight through. "All the angels are dreaming of me," indeed.
