Sweet album for sure. Van Occupanther > Antiphon > Silvercork > Courage.

roscoe, young bride, and head home are 3 of the most perfect songs, but i usually find myself playing the whole album.



might try their new album again (antiphon?) because i think i only listened to it once

just now discovering these guys. Really love the style of this album. Reminds me of Mimicking Birds, but with a little more of a 70s feel

Not gonna lie, I definitely dig this but nothing about it really wows me tbh. Just some super solid 70s inspired indie folk.

I'm with Hawks, this is good but nowhere near the Harp solo album.



I also think I prefer 'The Courage of Others' a shade, but I need to listen to that one a bit more to be sure.

This is just a very nice and relaxing folk album but not much more than that tbh.
