Search - The Parson Red Heads :: King Giraffe

King Giraffe is the first full length that begins to capture the spirit of Los Angeles The Parson Red Heads live show. The opening dissonance on ""Sister"" sets the tone for the rest of the album and its exploration of 60's flavored psychedelic folk rock. Evan Way's voice is one of the most unique to come along in years, his Paul Simon like croon is often augmented by the rest of the group's Byrds-ian harmonies. Guitars are the main driving force behind King Giraffe, from the dueling leads breakdown on ""Days of My Youth"" to the feedback freak out finale of ""Full Moon"". Rounded out by tight drumming and irresistible bass and keyboard lines, pedal steel and banjo also appear and both are high-lighted on the toned down closer ""Ball and Chain"".
