The Exeter Popes~ 'Snow, Mountain, Geisha'

At times moody but always catchy, The Exeter Popes deliver jangly, melodic pop with ease. Relaxed vocals bend while guitar, bass, and drums give and take to all fit into the atmospheric puzzle that is 'Snow, Mountain, Geisha', allowing keyboards, hand claps, and tamborine to fall into the mix.
A standout track for me is 'Fair Weathered Friend', a delicate tune accented by a marching drum and shakers, reminiscent of The Red House Painters in mood and The Ocean Blue in melody.
