An enjoyable way to spend a summer's afternoon
I made this!
An old friend & I spent yesterday afternoon writing & recording this song.
In an (nostalgic) attempt to recreate our 4-track days, we only used acoustic instruments, recorded in one take. And drank a lot of wine.
[edit]- Cheers all! & No, it's not me singing; I just played guitar, bass, drums & violin. And "played" is pushing it. I was so pissed by the time we finished I couldn't remember actually playing the bass.

Very fluffy
Nice one, I used to do the same with a friend back in the day. 4 track and it had to be all done from scratch in one day. Actually usually done overnight. We rediscovered an old cassette couple of years ago and put them online. Good times

It's all good up h'jaar!
Very nice - vocally it reminds me of Steven Wilson of No-man/Porcupine Tree/Blackfield fame. But that might just be me. Clickies.

Don't worry ...
... any happiness caused by your post, however unlikely that made be, will be amply dispelled by your appalling grammar

Would have been perfect, if not for the missing full stop at the end!

Jeez dude, that's not funny at all.
But it does sound like one of my favourite groups*, and I like it a lot. One afternoon, huh? Wow.
*Midlake by the way, it reminds me of Midlake.
