Great Rock

When I first heard these guys on Letterman

I was really blown away.

I couldn't wait to get my hands on their recording.

Then,

from the first strum,

to the last beautifully harmonized vocal,

I was hooked.

These five guys:

• Robin Pecknold - lead vocals, guitar
• Skyler Skjelset - lead guitar
• Christian Wargo - bass, guitar, vocals
• Casey Wescott - keyboards, vocals
• Josh Tillman - drums, vocals, arrangements

took me back to the innocence and idealism

of the late 60s and early 70s

with sounds that reminded particularly

of Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young.

At times singer Robin Pecknold also sounds a bit like

Jon Anderson of Yes.

This is a fine recording that is not to be missed.
