Their take on 60’s rock harmonies, thick yet simple hooks, and depression-era furniture upholstery, reminds me of Midlake, Fleetwood Mac, Crosby, Stills & Nash, and Fleet Foxes, but much poppier and energetic. They’ve got a (mostly Canadian) tour getting started in a few weeks. 02.20 • The SAIT Gateway (Calgary, AB) 02.22 • The Black Dog (Edmonton, BC) 02.23 •…
