My new, all-time favourite band. Combining South Seas exotica, spaghetti western themes, surf guitar, and 50-60s private eye music. There are 4 albums on Spotify.
But if there is one thing about the internet music which needs correcting, it is uncredited files. Its as bad as it was in the early 1950, when you would buy an LP without any credits.

David,
I love that 1st tune.
There's something about a vibraphone and a steel guitar together that's just great!

If memory serves I believe Gary Brandin played on at least a couple of their albums... Great stuff!

Em M9th, yeah I checked that out. Its a lovely surprise tone. Like when you break through the jungle and find a lagoon full lotuses. I can't get it in any of my tunings, but I can break it in two.
The thing about these albums is that they may be perceived as kitch, but in fact they are a serious body of work worth studying.

I can get a partial in Leon E13 with
1 E -14-
2 C#-14-
3 B ----
4 G#----
5 F#-13-
which is G D# F#.
I love the sound of tense chords like that on steel guitar. |
