So Much for the City

The Thrills

Sun-bleached harmonies and banjo-led indie pop. A Dublin band's love letter to 1960s California, recorded with a warm, nostalgic haze.

May 27, 2003 · Virgin

A sun-drenched, escapist dream that filters 1960s California optimism through a lens of Irish melancholy.

Moments Worth Listening For
The explosion of multi-part vocal harmonies on the chorus of Big Sur
The lonely, high-lonesome banjo line that carries Santa Cruz (You're Not That Far)
The way the tempo drags with a sleepy, druggy elegance on Deckchairs and Cigarettes
