Eight months might not seem like a long turnaround between records, but h&s were in Columbus NE for four days of recording with Fred Ritter over New Years’ 2001-02, less than a year after beginning to write music and releasing “Bigger Sounds From Fewer Folks.” The songs written immediately after the first record and over the summer were generally passed over in favor of newer material and a fuller sound. “near and far” outpaces the pleasant meanderings of the band’s previous effort with a confident stride and a broader palette of sound, including more voices and drums, hints of pop-style verse\/chorus\/verse songs, a sprinkle of strange effects, and an Armstrong-esque jazz scat.
