Busman's Holiday (Bloomington, Indiana) was an absolute revelation to me exactly 7 years ago. "Popular Cycles" was one of my first purchases from Joyful Noise Recordings, and I just couldn't get enough of it.
The easiest comparisons are Paul Simon, The Beach Boys and The Beatles. These songs are carefully crafted with wonderful harmonies. If you look on AllMusic you'll see that the "related artists" are mostly alt-country. I wouldn't call this music alt-country at all. This is lush, orchestrated pop/baroque pop.
I also hear a bit of Thomas Walsh (Pugwash) - reminder - his LP is due out soon on Curation Records.
"Good Songs" was released by Snappy Fun.
