So what exactly does progressive folk rock sound like? If it is all like The Glance, call me a fan. I was hooked from the melancholic interplay between the guitar and mandolin on “Keep Your Mood From Changing.” I am guessing the “progressive” part is the electric guitar that is tastefully added in many places. Or are those horns I hear on “Spies!”? Almost gives the song a slight Havalina Rail Company vibe. Songs like “It Just Keeps Happening” also display a very talented rhythm section beneath the other sounds. Overall, the most impressive part are the ways the different instruments are interwoven together rather than relegated to background noise for the vocals. Of course, the lyrics seem to be about as intricate as the music, so this band is really the whole package for people that like intelligent music.
