Wow, just started listening to some of their stuff.

Absolutely amazing.

FTM · 18 Mar 2009 at 11:09

reminds me a bit of Neil Young..and somebody else who I cannot quite put my finger on yet

Nix · 18 Mar 2009 at 11:15

They remind me a lot of The Shins. I can definitely hear the Young element too.

For example:

The Shins - New Slang

Awesome band

FTM · 18 Mar 2009 at 13:53

I remembered the name of the other band I thought they reminded me off

America! (early 70's folk rock, Horse with no name etc.)

bit old for some of the youngsters on here

blix · 18 Mar 2009 at 18:46

Tis gud tbh.

Song is pap but the animation is awesome.

This year's fad.

_Jimlad_ · 19 Mar 2009 at 09:23

i like there sound, wonder what main stream airing will do to them

Helium_Junkie · 20 Mar 2009 at 09:20

Have only heard that one song, which is great. Is the album as good?

Fubsy · 20 Mar 2009 at 10:11

Mmm, I think I'll check these out.

I was getting a real Moody Blues vibe from Mykanos. Excellent track, I love it!

Unfortunately so. Got their EP before the album came out last year, album on release and saw them in a nice, intimate venue in October which was bloody amazing! But now they're going to get overplayed and only play large venues which wont suit them. Selfish thinking but I don't care

It's good chilled out summery music though and the guys are likeable so all the best to them

EDIT: Helium Junkie, try their EP Sun Giant first. It has Mykonos on there and it's very good. Not too long either so you're more likely to listen to it all if you're not sure! Prefer it over the album to be honest.

(Saying that, do they bundle the EP with the album now...?)

awesome band, saw them in london earlier this year were fantastic live beter than the cd.

another band worth checking out is the bowerbirds

I bought the album for my gf after seeing an advert and thinking she'd like that sort of thing, and it turns out I do too!

Great album, certainly different from the usual indie stuff that's forced out by the nme brigade.

snowdog · 20 Aug 2009 at 01:02

I agree this music is awesome, listened to mykanos like 20x on youtube yesterday when my mate linked me to it :eek:

Sounds nice and relaxing

I don't know if anyone has been listening to 6 Music, but they have been playing the title song off their May 2011 Album Helplessness Blues, and it's wonderful, Think I am going to be getting tickets to see this lot in Hammersmith in June! For anyone with Spotify, here is the Spotify Link

Cracking group. Got their EP and their album. Mykonos and White Winter Hymnal are two of my favourite tracks.
