My first crossing with Loquat was a couple months back when they opened for Passenger. I liked their stuff a lot and decided to investigate further. I found out that they were playing at the Treasure Island Music Festival, and was pretty surprised that they were playing at such a big venue (having been watching them play at a relatively small place). They definitely deserve it, having been writing music since '96 and releasing albums since '02.

They create a really smooth, relaxing sound which is perfect for the current mood I'm in. Kylee Swenson's voice is so soothing, I kind of feel like everything around just moves more slowly and gently.
