Silver Phial

If you are looking for a new group whose tunes can make (almost) anyone feel instantly better, look no further than Silver Phial. This psychedelic folk band not only sounds like they are from the 60s, but some of their photos look like album covers from my mother's old record collection. Listening to them makes me want to wear wildflowers in my hair and wish for summer.

Their track "Aeronautique" (released on their EP from last year) sounds like a long-lost track from The Mamas & The Papas, while "Into The Light" sounds more like a female-fronted version of The Yardbirds.

Look out for their sweet pop track, "Better Side of Life", on an upcoming Emitt Rhodes tribute album.
