Ohhhhhh! I was wondering why it sounded familiar.

I'll have to check it out as well. Thanks steve.

Thanks guys...I'll listen to it and then decide to buy it or not.

VFK - it's the other half of Band of Horses that left after album one to focus on this band. Alot of similarities but doesn't quite hit the mark in my opinion.

I think the guitar sound on the album is a bit schizophrenic, but It's mostly a pretty classic indie pop sound ala Belle and Sebastian. Some of the slower stuff sounds dangerously close to mid 90s christian rock (lets pretend i don't know what that actually sounds like), but the second track "Miniature Birds" is infectious. It's worth a few listens, anyway.

Heard some buzz about Grand Archives. Can you explain what kind of music it is, what other groups it may be like etc.? Thanks and good list.
