Approved: The Donkeys (SNAP Of The Day)
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 30 April 2009
San Diego four piece The Donkeys operate chilled out summer jams ideal for the mid afternoon festival slot. ‘Lower The Heavens’ would certainly fit in perfectly, a grooving instrumental with reams of Fugazi-aping guitar that ends up redolent of Electrelane’s final album (obviously minus the vocals). Flitting from this to ‘In The Morning’ and ‘Nice Train’ and your hitting territory somewhere between My Morning Jacket and the chirpiness of The Shins, however – blissful and simplistic, and tremendously difficult not to fall for.
