Search - Stuart & Caan :: Mayfly Dance (Spkg)

"Though the trappings were more hippie-ish than punk ... the sounds made during the program's first act--Britain-bred, Spain-based experimenters Stuart and Caan--reflected the values those two subgenres share: unpolished enthusiasm, impetuous experimentation, and an insiderness that nonetheless welcomed listeners willing to learn the ropes." -- LA Times Stuart and Caan's The Mayfly Dance came to Knw-Yr-Own from England thanks to friends Little Wings and Devendra Banhart. After opening for the two bands on the Hair Fairies Tour, Banhart invited the gents to come over and play the United States. Needless to say, Stuart and Caan fell smartly into the middle of the new weird America musical movement, taking it all in (until they were deported). With pastoral guitars, heartbreaking melodies, and a rare sense of wide-eyed wonder, The Mayfly Dance spins a timeless Anglo-folk sound.
