The Kingsbury Manx - 'Aztec Discipline' (Cooking Vinyl)
4/5
By: Lauren Gallagher
Harmonious, winsome, and earnest, The Kingsbury Manx's 'Aztec Discipline' is truly nothing less than refreshing.
Each song arrives as a unique gift, in a succession of little treasures. The present may open with an acoustic guitar, swaying between twinkling delicacy and rustic country rhythms, then reveal harmonies from the golden days of Peter and Gordon, or the beloved Simon and Garfunkel.
It's not always in the same guise. Another such as 'Creature of Habit' could just form the gift of a precious soundtrack to a lazy, louche weekend, with its pleasantly groggy sway.
Hailing from the musical hotbed of North Carolina, The Kingsbury Manx evidently bear a knack for capturing the combined essences of rural America and the whimsy of youth. You can't help but smile. Raise your glass and toast to the latest and greatest Americana popsters.
