The Golden Bears of Portland, OR is Julianna Bright (The Quails) who sings and plays drums, as her husband Seth Lorinczi (Corin Tucker Band, Circus Lupus) acts as a multi-instrumentalist. Their experienced musical knowledge is evident in their intriguing second album, which is heavily late 60s/early 70s influenced. Julianna carries her soft voice like Allan Clarke of The Hollies, to create a folk sound accompanied by classic rock drums and keyboard. The songs often give off a Glen Campbell country vibe, with an alternative twist. If you even mildly enjoy that general sound, you will adore this album.
Listen to this: on a prairie train ride in the 1970s, to a familiar and loving place you hope is in reach.
