What I'd rather listen to than The Beatles, if wanting to listen to something Beatles-ish.

I didn't know the band and did not read any information about them before listening, but I would have guessed that the band comes from the US West coast after listening to the first few songs. They somehow remind me of The Mamas & the Papas or The Beach Boys—except for the piano, maybe. Nice, but unspectacular.

Kind of Beatles variant, but less obvious and/or pop. It still tastes strongly like the '60s. It's well and subtly orchestrated, with a little psychdelic twist. Pretty nice to listen to.

This was an interesting listening experience - I recognised the single from this but the rest was new to me. Definitely psychedelia with a distinctly English touch somewhere between Pink Floyd and the Kinks. I was interested to see that the band originally formed in one of the pubs that I used to frequent in St Albans, near where I grew up, so technically that makes them a local band for me!

Geht gut ins Ohr, aber mit psychedelischer 60er Jahre-Musik macht man grundsätzlich nicht viel falsch. Wobei das ganze Harmoniesieren und die AAAAAH-AAAAH-AAAAHs irgendwann auch etwas nervig waren. "Time of the Season" aber weiterhin absolut großartig.

Kinda interesting late-Beatles-ish psych pop.
