Album Review

Apparently this band opened for Band of Horses but I missed them. They’re a folk-rock band with psychedelic pop sensibilities. Some songs are straight up country sounding and some are somewhat trippy benders.
FCC Clean.
Recommended: 7, 8, 11
1. (3:15) Solid mid/fast jangle poppy indie folk song with melodic hook.
2. (2:56) More poppy slightly wobbly synthy, bit late '60s/early'70s throwback pop song.
3. (4:17) Psychedelic riffs, glam rock vocals with insistent beat.
4. (3:42) Slow song. Meandering paced vocals with a walking-pace rhythm, country influences bleed through. Female oohing.
5. (3:34) Slow with lilting vocals with prominent female backing. Still instrumentally dense.
6. (2:33) Midtempo, sweet sounding breezy male accompaniment.
7. (3:04) Sparser, simpler mellow confessional love song gets crooney in places.
8. (4:32) Soft, subdued and country pop ballad.
9. (2:51) Ringing intro. Half talking/singing.
10. (2:34) Upbeat poppy with driving 4/4 snare drum beat and prominent bass.
11. (2:34) Slow lumbering '60s psych pop.
