Appreciation Night is the debut full-length from the Chicago-based band Bound Stems. The anchor of the album is their hometown, where the din of the elevated train, clattering turnstiles, late night house parties, intimate conversations and the soft crunch of winter's snow are layered throughout the 15 track sequence. The songs themselves, arranged with the intricate precision of a timepiece, are filled with rhythm patterns mirroring youth's reckless abandon, dissonant guitar washes and warm keyboards, all of which build to crescendos of dizzying heights. The narrative threads, coming-of-age vignettes interwoven with historical references from the Civil War to present day, are delivered in a patchwork of vocal melodies that are as memorable as any instrumentation on the album. Bound Stems' debut EP earned the band early critical attention in 2005 from The New York Times, Alternative Press [4/5], Pitchfork [7.1/10], Spin.com's "Band of the Month" [March 06]; Entertainment Weekly called the EP "a woozy triumph" and Chicago Reader praised the songs as "smart and ambitious."

I downloaded a live track of Bound Stems on WLUW ages ago, still loving this song years later.

By far one of the most memorable songs and albums of my music collection. I absolutely love the work of Bound Stems. I've just found out they put out more music with a band called 'Like Pioneers.' I've got some catchin up to do with those tunes. Keep going guys!

this is one of my top ten favorite bands. they have a consistent and clear aesthetic. many times in their songs the passion in the vocals contrasts with the instrumentals to make one stand up and take notice of the lyrics. Speaking of which, the lyrics are very reminiscent of Radiohead in their almost, but not quite, incomprehensible nature. the tunes are quite catchy but also technically proficient and complex. the timbre of gallivan's voice is enhanting.
