A curious rock lineup that sounds like Indigenous ceremonial dance music reinterpreted for the Elvis generation, with surf-flavored guitars and tribal drumming. Standouts like "You're My Angel" (sample_2) and "I Won't Be Around" (sample_3), mid-tempo numbers dripping with psych guitar, should sit just right with today's vintage/sweet soul listeners.
