We’re not breaking new ground here. This is just an example of a perfectly acceptable paisley revival type/Byrds influenced band that was produced by Mitch Easter and assisted by Mike Mills and that’s probably why its so delicious.
Think Guadalcanal Diary.
I don’t say this like it’s a bad thing. In fact, if all of this was happening today there would be one super festival of all these bands jangling out and selling fringe and tie-dye. And I would be there, at Jangle-Fest.
I wish this band had caught on. I really liked this record.
