Listen to this track I picked up on via Hype Machine - it's sound is somewhere between modern rock and Bob Seger in the 70's. The subject matter is something a lot of us can relate to as well…are you gonna see her again?

Amable debe ser una excepción ya que hoy es el día que ha elegido para presentarnos su tradicional disco de este 2011 que se acaba. Hoy se cumplen dos semanas desde que lo tengo en el player de mi coche, con el beneplácito de quienes me suelen acompañar, sin intenciones de ser retirado, y eso es mucho desde que me obligo a reseñar diariamente por estas virtualidades escafandristas. Sintomático, veréis. [...]

Filed under: Video of the Day Artist: Family of the Year Video: 'St. Croix' Highlight: "Shooting the video was awesome," drummer Sebastian Keefe tells Spinner. "We didn't want to be dramatic or make a video that had to be taken too seriously. We wanted to have fun and create something that would hopefully be entertaining. We wrote this song when Jamesy (our guitarist) was looking forward to his trip to the Caribbean with some friends. Those friends weren't us, so we wrote [...]

The moniker is Cillie, as in "silly," and Barnes, from a family name. But Cillie Barnes is not a new, honey-voiced angel dropped from the heavens — it's just the new musical incarnation of Vanessa Long, co-founder of the L.A. folk-pop outfit Family of the Year. The O.C.-bred songstress departed FOTY last year, deciding after a tour supporting Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros that "this wasn't quite the life I signed up for."

Yes, the chorus to Family of The Year 's "St. Croix" features the cringe-inducing lines "You bring the ocean/ I'll bring the motion/ Together we'll make a love potion/...Dancing all night in slow motion" and no, it doesn't deserve an instant trip to the Recycle Bin because of that. Why? Because the track, a tale of a "boy from Florida" who escapes to the Caribbean to "get over it" from the L.A.-based indie-folk act's new EP of the same name, so irresistibly evokes the surf n' sunshine bliss of summer season good times with its happy-go-lucky [...]
Drawing comparisons to the great songwriting teams of the '60s and '70s, Family Of The Year is an L.A. band with style.

"St. Croix" has a light, breezy feel, showing off [...]
