If Great Big Sea and Grapes of Wrath had a love child would it be Side Saddle? I don't know, maybe. (oh sorry, 80's canadian bands FYI.)
But still. It's like a east coast down home rhythm with just a touch of melancholy in the vocals and harmonies. And it works! Quite well actually.
There's also depth to the music that isn't always apparent unless you listen for it. My favorite Lush has a bit more of an edge to it that I hope they explore further. But all are well worth the listen.
