One of those airy, slightly sad & cottonball soft 60s bands that makes collector spittle start to foam (mine included). Sound is surprisingly American for a band from Argentina, mostly because 3/4 of the band were kids of diplomats. Almost too perfect mix of Beatles/Byrds-worship, playing that straddles the skilled/unskilled fence with great charm. Main songwriter looks to've been an albino kid who later became a classical music conductor. Makes a solid companion to melancholy perennials like Lazy Smoke, Plastic Cloud, Index, etc. Tracklisting: Livin Free, In Sunshine and In Shadow, Go Softly Now, Ghost Riders In the Sky, The Ring of Bright Water, Beneath It To Be Warm, Look At My Friend, We're All Here, It Ain't So, Lady Jane, A Summer Song, If I Belong Here, December Winter, Gloria, Ringo's Theme, Blue Moon.
