This is a style of music you don't hear much anymore, a sort of Baroque "sunshine pop" you hear echoes of in the Polyphonic Spree and Beulah. It's the kind of powerhouse vocal folk-pop sent up by the New Main Street Singers in the movie A Mighty Wind. Over the years, this group has had approximately five thousand members, so later releases by them may vary, but I found this to be toe-tapping, catchy, and fun, a refreshing change from the juggernaut of straight guitar-driven folk-rock. These guys may be a dozen nerds in suits but they pack a musical punch. Favorite tracks: "Enter the Young," "Don't Blame It On Me," "Changes."
