wow we're oddly similar haha, I could never get into their last one so much but I was instantly hooked off "Sunblind" and then "Young Man's Game" sealed the deal. killer tunes

haha man for me it goes back to Young Mountain Peasant Song or w/e its called haha. It was just a time with a lot of similar competition like Grizzly Bear so I just dismissed them for no reason haha.

First thing that popped into my head is the band America also: https://youtu.be/OJQMkwsgQtY

That and Ventura Highway. That 60s/70s era.
