Song of the Day - June 7, 2005

Holiday Flyer - They are the new California sound, well, maybe not so new, as this record was recorded in 2001. Just one listen brings to mind visions of California in the musical style of late 60's or early 70's. Holiday Flyer are a California based duo of John and Kate Conley, who happen to be brother and sister. It is a melancholy, laid back pop sound, that reminds me somewhat of the Carpenters. Their song "Invincible" fits the mold perfectly. It starts out with some bongo accompaniment, followed by mellow acoustic guitar, and the vocal harmonies of John and Kate. A song for watching the sunset at the beach. Click here to listen.
