Awesome, atmospheric synths lead into one of my favorite indie songs... definitely great memories of Alice Cooper, an awesome flute section, what a fine mix of gothic & fun rock. Love J.O.'s elegance on vocals, and Ginnger's duet voice is superb too (and I love to hear her singing). Wonderful mood, a classic one for me... Can you hear the scream of the night bird?
Catching artists on-line is the best way for me to catch up.....sorry I missed ya earlier. I am REALLY enjoying this track. I agree with Brian on the vocals. It's very cool the let the accent out, it does give it folk flare. The harmonies are superb. The instrumentation on the break are very cool. The vocal melody is almost Celtic. You have a very original sound. GREAT TRACK and THANKS for the DL. It will be MUCH ENJOYED in my personal listening space :-) Looking forward to more from you guys!!

I really liked this. Nice swirling synth intro with arp guitar gave a suitably mysterious mood. The male vocalist sounds as though he has a background in English folk music. Nice presence in the vocals and the combination of male and female vocals in the chorus and elsewhere is very nice indeed. Good hook in the chorus. Nice change of mood in the instrumental break. Very interesting piece of work. Sort of Steeleye Span meets the B52s if that makes any sense.
Cheers
Brian

Beautiful keyboards & a very nice room... I especially love the heavy laid back mood, the melancholy, and the power of the drum mix. Pure emotions, J.O. here with a little Tom Petty touch and absolutey fine harmonies. Plus exciting guitar solo & rhythm breaks. Goood song!
Not so sure about this being strange, certainly imaginative and an interesting number to listen to. Liked the vocal melody, and the instrumentals were well laid out. Very good track indeed well done
The beauty of the strange... what a fine, different intro - awesome effects on the guitar. The flanger on your voice does sound so... spacey. Mystical, thoughtful rock song with a catchy hook in the tradition of Graham Gouldman classics. Your drums deliver the energy fine, the guitars add the magic flow for another demanding J.O. Simon track.
