I have really tried to give this band a chance, but my main problem is the feeling that each of these musicians are trying too hard for their part to stand out and they are not always thinking about what would fit best with the song. I don't think there is ever a moment where you don't hear slightly flat flute all over the place. The other problem that I have is the sappy fake gleefulness. I can't believe so many people are buying it. The songs are not bad songs, just poorly executed in my opinion.
Hard to define music but it can sure put a smile on your face. With winter coming to Seattle that is a great thing.
