The Villagers

The villagers are a singer-songwriter duo (of which, by the way, you almost always only see one member so that's a bit vague) whose music is mostly about love, but in a fairly non-cheesy focussed way.

From the LA area, this mixes sprawling guitar, violin & some keyboard-weirdness with a patch of vague Buckley/Beefheart/Fankhauser reference points on to a base of melodic psych-rock extensions.
