not sure if these are familiar with folk here - but they're well worth checking out.

 

Hailing from Texas, their sound is part Simon and Garfunkel, part folk, part Supertramp - weeeeird combo, I know - but they're pretty special. Chill out Sunday afternoon gorgeousness, the new album is... very 60s/early 70s - if you like Al Stewart or things a little folk/prog (don't be scared :P) - this is for you. Radio One's Edith Bowman championed 'Roscoe', their last single, so you may have heard it.

 

Catchy as scabies, all of it.

 

Their MySpace has a few snippets here:

and pieces of the new album can be heard here:

Yeah like Midlake they are cool (and i suppose if anybody has to be part supertramp its better than the feeling or GCH :lol: )

 

however have to agree with the guardian that this is one hell of a $h!t album cover, but i suppose people are gonna read the critic's reviews (great) rather than buy it for the cover :lol:
