Comments: "From a truly underground (NYC subway) background, ... folk-pop trio Ben Musser, sister, Meg Chamberlain, and Tucker Yaro, [create] songs with themes of idealism, mountains and stars, and a latent spirituality while keeping to a simple folk-pop format."

Apparently, when the group first started out and couldn't get gigs, their manager told them to play on the subway platform to see what folks liked. Turns out folks liked them-- and it makes sense that crowds would be drawn to the feel-good tunes. Go to "Humble Child" or "Confessions." RIYL: El Capitan
