The legendary album that was really a vehicle for Gram Parsons' cosmic country vision. The only Byrds album to feature him, and many of his vocals replaced by McGuinn. Still, the album is a cornerstone of American music. Essential.
Gritty atmospherics, damaged synthesizers, and unearthly vocals blend with a mixture of electronic and organic percussion, creating a sense of forceful unease in Public Memory's "Ripped Apparition."
Marigold is an urgent, multivalent meditation and an expanded take on the blend of alt-country, indie rock and cerebral humanism that's inspired the band's ardent fan community.
The band's sound is easily compared to second wave post-emo indie rock bands of the late 90s and early 2000s- a dense textured sound with multi-layered and heavily effected guitars as well as synthesizer, cello, and trumpet.
