This group are relatively new and from Seattle,America. Their vocals have been likened to Crosby Stills Nash and Young.
This song is called Mykonos and it is haunting.
Listen to it once and you'll like it, give it two go's and you'll be singing it the rest of the day.

Hope you likee, Gary

Very good, but if you go to this link you can actually see the guy singing rather than just watching a blank page.

Go back and check your link Gary. It definately does not show the lyrics, only the name of the band and the song title throughout the whole of the track.

Listened to both versions (so technically I've listened again). It must be me - didn't think it was particularly exceptional, haunting or memorable - Sorry!

It wasn't when I looked.

Truly awful
Didn't get past the first few bars.
IMHO likening them to Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young is an insult to 4 great musicians.

Can you search the internet with a song in the background ?
If you can download this and enjoy.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QVewug36RU
My last effort was a disaster and this maybe too but I/We really love it.
Get it up on YouTube then minus it so you listen to it while you do your other things
A hidden gem

Why is it assumed that Gary is been slated?? Its the song surely? Matter of taste or opinion.

Couldn't agree more Enopi - music's a matter of personal taste and you can't be wrong for liking something even if nobody else likes it. I should know, what with my favourite band being ELP :lol:

Liked the last one Gary! Here's one by another of my all-time favourite bands...http://www.singingfool.com/Title.aspx?publishedid=881444
