Vocal tone of Jason Lytle mimics Neil Young. Excellent segue...Beautifully done. Like the tune...the little melodic runs throughout the chorus and bridge are ear candy.

 

I think Lytle is also pretty explicitly referencing this song lyrically:

Young:
Flyin' mother nature's silver seed
To a new home in the sun

Lytle:
We will run
To a brand new sun.

Both about the exhaustion of a place and a way of living, and a desire to escape to a new life.

Excellent. Bill, you really nailed this.

EXCELLENT segue. Well done.

Grandaddy was a great band.  Made me think of sleepy southern California 70's music.

Rated a "one" for super ultra heavy rotation.  Knock it off!!!

Admiral Radley (Jason Lytle + Aaron Burtch from Grandaddy and Aaron Espinoza + Ariana Murray from Earlimart) will be touring the west coast (mostly California) in July.  Their album also (I think) will be released in July.

Would love to hear some Earlimart on RP!

I do exactly the same thing! So far I've bought:

The Shins - Wincing the Night Away
Broken Bells
Ludovico Einaudi - Divenire
The Cinematic Orchestra - Ma Fleur
Xavier Rudd - Dark Shades of Blue
Great Lake Swimmers - Lost Channels

None of which I even heard of before tuning into Radio Paradise a few short months ago

Next on my list:

Death Cab for Cutie
Guster
Elbow

Thanks RP {#Good-vibes}

I like this song, but it drives me ape because it sounds EXACTLY like a pop song - one hit wonder? - from the early 70s that I cannot place.

I just realized that if you strum your acoustic guitar over the top of your cheezy synth, it doesn't sound like the '80's any more.

I actually like the song, but I'm getting quite a few chances to deconstruct it.

Wouldn't hold out much hope for the tape deck though. Or the Creedence.

listenable - but seemed formulaic. Like a general background sound.  Lyrics redeem?
