    These guys are back with another quality album. I'm reminded of Morella's Forest many times, due to the dreamy vocals of Magdelyn Waggoner and the fuzzy guitars of Jared Ostrander (the Pretender, perhaps?). There's a cool spy vibe in "Drive" that showcases this MF comparison well, although Maggie sings at a slower tempo than Sidney. Jesse Sprinkle makes a guest appearance here on percussion, as well as producing these dreamy sounds. For ordering info, write: PO Box 344, Axtell NE 68924
