White Winter Hymnal

Dear James,
Back in August I told you you'd like Fleet Foxes and you took offense and asked me why, as if it was so easy to read you. Here are ten reasons why:

1. They have an animal in their name. Like The High Llamas. And other bands you like with animal names.
2. Stop-motion video. Duels do this all the time. So do Tool. That´s probably who you got it off.
3. Nice clean harmonies. Like the Beach Boys.
4. Moderate tambourine use. Like the Beach Boys.
5. Suprising chord change at (0:33). Like the Beach Boys.
6. That electric guitar sound that always reminds me of Hank Marvin but which seems to be awfully popular these days.
7. They've only released one album and thus have yet to disappoint with their second.
8. Audible breathing (2:10). Like Elliott Smith. And the Beach Boys.
9. "The quintet describe their music as "baroque harmonic pop jams"", it says here. Nothing says James more than baroque harmonic pop jam. In fact, that's probably an anagram of your name.
10. The Daily Telegraph called their debut album "pretty but almost pathologically unobtrusive". Just like you, again.
