Review: 'TREETOP FLYERS'
'The Mountain Moves'   

-  Label: 'Loose Music'
-  Genre: 'Folk' -  Release Date: '29th April 2013'

Our Rating:
This all male five-piece may be based in London but their musical heart lies somewhere in Laurel Canyon.

Taking their name from an obscure Stephen Stills song, they set out on the Ventura Highway taking Devendra Banhart's buddy Noah Georgeson along for the ride to bring some Californian sun to the production.

Do we really need another throwback soft-rock band and, in the words of the final track, Is It All Worth It?

Probably not; but, in fairness, this fab five replicate the sounds of the 60s/70s pretty nimbly as the single Things Will Change demonstrates.

Giving that this album of "hope, honesty and huge choruses" is a prime example of retro culture, the title of this song has to be regarded as deeply ironic.
