I don't know if this group has ever been discussed here, but I thought I'd write about them because the Brian Wilson influence is super strong and I think people here would really enjoy it.
I had the pleasure of seeing them open for Mark Mulcahy (of Miracle Legion and Adventures of Pete and Pete's Polaris) in Philadelphia last month. They posted to the shows event page a link to the song Lauren Lorraine (

Definitely one of the best openers I have seen at any show, and I highly recommend you all give them a listen. I really enjoy the album I purchased (Himalaya) and their self titled album is good as well. They're available on Google Play Music, Spotify, YouTube, etc.
