The Hills and the Rivers’ new single “The Fool” is an eclectic effort that deftly ties together indie, singer-songwriting, and folk music in an alluring fashion. Dual vocals provide ample depth to the composition, while the arrangements on The Fool feel as if they are drawing on a much earlier musical tradition. The dynamic between the strings and the vocals pushes each piece to a higher plateau. The track is so dense and brushy that fans will have to play it multiple times before hearing everything that has been included within. Check out the video below the jump.
