California
Baseball Band has some great folk sounds, combining harmonica and banjo into
the fold. They don’t remind me of
Mumford as much, but they do have some hints of Two Gallants, Marcy Playground
and Langhorne Slim. I can also hear
some Animal Flag coming out.
These
five songs also have a bedroom quality to them, which I’m not sure if that is a
sign of the recording or the intent as far as the music itself goes.
Not too
long ago (within the last few years) it seemed like every band wanted to be
Mumford & Sons. It’s good to see
someone still making good old fashioned folk music with a modern twist and not
trying to copy that other band.
