Comment:

A superb band out of North Carolina playing mildly psychedelic mellow pop tunes best described simply as languid. Very, very languid. Though they've got some of that stylized Brian Wilson-infused 60's pop sound found in various Elephant 6 type bands, the real comparison here is Pink Floyd -- specifically, the post-Barrett, pre-Dark Side Of The Moon albums of space-folk (i.e Obscured By Clouds, More, Meddle). Soothing acoustic guitars, subtle harmonies here and there, twangy slide guitar accents, and nary a hint of distortion (until their most recent album, which gets a bit more busy and frenetic in spots). Great stuff all around.

Just what Salman1 says. I've never seen you do a mix I didn't like Marc, and this looks interesting.

I'm batting on the same team as the previous 2 here? But The Kingsbury Manx sound as if they'd be right up my street!

Your description is perfect - they are a pretty amazing band. I still haven't picked up the first 2 records, but the last album was high on my top 2003 best-of list and the EP was even better ("Half Man" is my fave song I've heard by them).

Marc! You're incredible! You know that Kingsbury Manx is one of my very favorite bands, and I think it's great that this mix is giving some people the idea to go seek them out. In case you don't know, by the way, there is a live Kingsbury Manx concert at emusic.com!
