The Young Sinclairs
Heavily influenced by the sonic landscape of the 60’s, the latest release - “We Spoke Our Minds” is full of shimmering guitars, sweepingly melodic vocals, and slices of timeless pop-nuggets. The moment the needle touches vinyl, The Young Sinclairs are off and running with the reverb-laden excitement of the title track. This is quickly followed by the raw jangly romp of “You Can Have Her” complete with a fantastic electric twelve-string guitar break and “Oh yeah” refrain. On the flipside ”Girl I’m For Real” rolls out with its bass heavy induced groove, while the sweet harmonies of “Have A Home” takes flight and soars to new heights. The digital release contains two bonus cuts: The pastoral psyche-folk gem “Forever After” and the swirling atmospheric glow of “Memory System”.
The Young Sinclairs have been bringing their brand of psych/folk/rock (RIYL:
The Byrds, Kinks, The Essex Green, Rain Parade etc.) to the world since
2005 as part of Roanoke, Virginia’s the Magic Twig Community. The band
features: John Thompson, Daniel Cundiff (Eternal Summers), Sean Poff, Jonathan
Woods, and Samuel Lunsford (ex 63 Crayons). In their five years they have
self released several full length LPs, EPs and cassettes. Along with their
new "We Spoke Our Minds E.P." the band has just recently released
two vinyl only LP's "Songs Of The Young Sinclairs" (Kindercore
Records) and "Chimeys" (Chimney Sweep Records) . In 2009 the band
toured the east coast with Australia’s The Lovetones. Much more is
in the works, stay tuned.
