Outing a group for however they re-imagined themselves is ludicrous: the only thing that matters is their music. And their music is both reverent to American roots and to creating something new out of these roots. You gotta love this group.

Be fair, Joe. If they want to be folk Americana, and they play it as well as they do, more power to them. The argument about “authenticity” is about the least authentic thing I can imagine.

As nice as the sound of this band is, don’t be fooled. They claim to have met “in the summer baseball leagues”. These are Brown University graduates with rich parents who have taken on folk as a hipster wears skinny jeans. This is privilege masquerading as authenticity, plain and simple.
