    To hand over all of your things and start over new
    While we were out hunting for food
    Our house was being robbed
    I caught an apple and she caught a fox
    So I caught a rabbit and she caught an ox
    So upon our return we found everything gone
    Which for us was no loss
    And we started over with a rabbit and an ox

    Yes. Are you?

    I don't really know their music, but I recognized your moniker from their album title.

    Milake released one of the best albums of the year in 2006, anybody brought up on early to mid seventies FM (is that a dirty word) rock will love the album. A new release is due this year apparently, but we'll see.

    Cheers

    Do you have any of their earlier albums?

    Yes, there is definitely a mid-seventies AOR "vibe" to their music. i liken them to early Fleetwood Mac, specifically the Bob Welch era, which i prefer, before Lindsey Buckingham spoiled things.

    No just that one, I've heard some samples of Bamnan and Silvercork and it was on my wishlist for a while but kind of dropped of. A lot of people liken them to Grandaddy (I'm a big fan) and Flaming Lips (who I'm ok with) now I can hear the similarities on Bamnan but on Van Occupanther they have a different sound again which is more to my taste.

    I'm assuming you have some other stuff by them, what's your take on their earlier work?

    Cheers
    Mike

    Lindsay Buckingham spoiled things?!?!?

    You mean...saved things. If not a Lindsay Buckingham, then it woulda been someone that was like him, because it was the direction Mick wanted to go after Welch's departure. FM wasn't going to sound like Bare Trees ever again anyway, and Buckingham was definitely no slouch. FM might not have made it out of the '70s if not for Mr. Buckingham. FWIW, I do like Welch era FM.

    Hey Mike, good to see you around here. Now that you're saying that, I'm vaguely recalling that I have heard them...possibly the reason that the name Van Occupanther sounded so familiar. I'll have to investigate. Cheers!

    Whoops, looks like I called that putt a bit early. Sorry VanO but the recent spate of one word spam posts had me in attack mode, you just must be shy. Welcome to the forum.

    I was scratching my head over that post bob, I must admit.

    I need to go back and revisit Grandaddy, they've gotten by me (so far).

    Welcome to the forum Van.
    I didn't change my mind. It changed all by itself.

    I would say that they were more in line with other 'indy' sounding bands of the day. It was the same organic sound, only with more fuzzy production, like The National, only without the faux Nick Cave vocals.

    Grandaddy's Sumday album or early Guster are good comparisons, only folkier.

    Midlake doesn't make samey albums.
