Seagulls is a fitting name for a band whose music easily places you into a sunny state of mind. The Bucks County natives released their full-length album, Great Pine, back in April and as summer is slowly creeping in, this album should definitely be on your playlist. Seagulls is as if Fleet Foxes and Monsters of Folk had a little folksy baby. The songs are rooted in a folk with rich harmonies and smooth conformity. The album starts off strong with the ambient “Dragoon” and ends just as strong with “Distracted.” You’ll find yourself completely dissolved into the album and not realize how much time has gone by. Great Pine is pleasant to the ears and perfect for a nice tranquil summer afternoon. Download the entire album at Bandcamp, listen to the song “Swimmin'” below, and see the band tomorrow night at Kung Fu Necktie; information at the show can be found at the XPN Concert Calendar.
