Definitely! When I first heard this song, especially its chorus, I wondered whether this might be the new single by Ray Davies. Until some trademark Syd Barrett harmonies emerged from the tune.

[@caretakercain1673]

I was only a lad of twenty and five when I moved to San Francisco in the mid 1990s. Before the century was over I'd had two incredibly star-crossed love affairs with beautiful enchantresses that hailed from Los Angeles. Several lifetimes later, after I'd moved so far away to the East Coast, I heard this song for the first time and it transported me back to those bittersweet summers in SF. I feel as though this song has given me a magical channel back to Land's End and that sublime peak of Strawberry Hill at Stow Lake where it all began.

[@rocknrollfanatic96]

Totally agree, especially about The Zombies. Anyone who knows Odessey and Oracle will instantly see their fingerprints all over this.

Garrett Cash I still think this group is good though,I just hear a lot of influences. If more bands could take old sounds give them a fresh spin and make new songs like this I would be happy.

[@rocknrollfanatic96]

I absolutely agree with everything you said. I just enjoy picking out the influences too, but they are a seriously good band. The most recent record is quite impressive. I see a ton of Kinks in it too. Plus Velvet Underground and Sgt Pepper-era Lennon style lyrics like "I was bored anyway."
