I was almost skeptical to buy Flight from Echo Falls considering how there weren't many places I could go to get feedback about the album. But I took a risk and it payed off. There's nothing too ground-breaking here, but if you're looking for a good, fun listen, you can't go wrong. As mentioned below you get a feel of the 60's with keyboards, a bouncy bass, and melodic vocals (I personally didn't think they were that "different" sounding) from Jeremiah Green and Tristan Mckay Marcum. It is lo-fi but not to the point where you constantly notice it, and that's how I like it. Buy it.

Vells have the drummer from Modest Mouse with them, so I decided to give them a try. Although classifying their sound is difficult, they have upbeat guitar and bass progressions mixed with keyboards creating a sound from the 50's or 60's. The recording of the CD is poor but it almost adds to how genuine the Vells are. The Vocals, although different, I grew to love. The Catchy Rythms and Melodies do get the best of you on some songs but the overall CD is hard to love as a whole. A Few Songs that capture Vells at their best are, "In The Hours of Flowers", "Little Yellow Man", "Larger Than Life" and "Rhyme Sees Mine".

THe vells second album is gem packed with songs for the heart and soul.
