Jonquil

Add Date: November 2 

Artist: Jonquil 

Album: One Hundred Suns 

Label: Dovecote

Genre: Indie rock 

Comments: From the promoter: "Jonquil's self-proclaimed 'Paul Simon's take on The Smiths' tag nails them well; however, the six-piece also encompasses a level of intricacy not unlike a more subtle Dirty Projectors without the R&B. There's also an inclusion of majestic summer flourishes of romantic indie-pop very much in the modern tradition--similar to Beach House, Vampire Weekend or Wolf Parade".

What more could you want from these Oxford guys and their lovely British accents? My personal favorites: "Pillow Quest", "It Never Rains", "Lions" and "Compound".
