The Skygreen Leopards seemingly have the recipe for excellent psych-folk down pat. Glenn Donaldson and Donovan Quinn have released 4 LPs and a bunch of EPs since they formed the group in 2001. They each have their own solo projects in addition to this, Glenn Donaldson with the Giant Skyflower Band (see post below) and Donovan Quinn with the 13th Month. It amazing to me that these guys dont receive any attention at all, even though all of their albums have received great reviews from many sources and they have such a unique approach to this often monotonous genre. Due to the fact that all of their albums are pretty similar to each other in their fuzz-folk psychedelic nature, i decided to post links to all of their LP's that i could find. They have been my obsession for the past few weeks, and although it took me awhile to get used to the soft, wavey/warbley vocals, it is well worth the effort. For fans of Elephant 6 bands, new-weird America, freak folk, and psych folk, these guys are definitely worth checking out.
I would listen to Life and Love in the Sparrow's Meadow to get started with their vibe, although my favorite is Disciples of California with its catchy and well structured songs.
