Song of the Day - October 26, 2006

Doom-folk is an apt descriptor for the band Flying Canyon. Flying Canyon is the work of Cayce Lindner backed by members of The Skygreen Leopards. The music on their self-titled debut is stark, desolate, and beautiful in the way one may view the desert. There are shades of Neil Young and David Crosby on this album, but with a handful of valium and a glass of bourbon. My favorite tune is opening track "In the Reflection," a lethargic ballad, with a lonesome chorus and very stark instrumentation that definitely reminds me of Neil Young. Click here to listen.
