Synopsis

Product Description

There's a distinctive west coast signature in each of their glorious tunes, reminiscent of rock forefathers such as Neil Young, Lindsey Buckingham, Peter Frampton, The Doobie Brothers, Tim and Jeff Buckley, Elliott Smith, Wilco, and The Eagles, to name a few. An upbeat pop-tinged album with larger than life percussion, jangling guitars, and heart wrenching vocals that still maintains the crucial darkness that so often taints the west coast folk and rock sound. Upbeat tales of longing, loving, suicide, and loss. "Unbridled euphoria" - LA Times.

CD Reviews

Like listening to paintings

Domenic Proc | Reno,NV USA | 01/15/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I was privileged enough to see these guys at a concert about 6 months ago. They opened for I Hate Kate and Hot Hot Heat. At first I found the music catchy and intriguing. I bought the CD about a week ago finally on Itunes because it is so obscure I couldn't find it at a local Borders or anything.

When I listen to this album I find that the music and lyrics combined have an artistry like I haven't heard. I get surreal images of fairy tales and spooky abadoned towns. They give a faint reminiscent feeling of other strange albums like Yellow Submarine where, as we have learned, nothing is real.

A step in a new direction for indie rockers everywhere, this is an important and unique album. It ranges from acoustic to electronic to flat out rock with hints of synth and B3. Catchy and rememberable. Despairing and uplifting. Can make you dance and can make you think. Really inspirational.

Tracks worth giving a listen: Wolves in the Garden, Eucalyptus and I Hope I Become a Ghost. They are great live and on recording, check 'em out!"

Amazing, even if you aren't into Indie music

"I absolutely love this album, I listen to it every day. I wasn't into Indie music until I heard these guys. Each song is totally different in both music and lyrical style. Currently this is my favorite album and I can't listen to it enough. Definitely recommend this album to everyone! If you get a chance, see them live as well, they're extremely entertaining. Favorite band. Favorite album. Period."
