The album On Sunset Lake was officially released on 28th January 2013. It furthers their rampant collective love of melody and harmony via psychedelia and country-rock out of an appreciation of, among others, the B-troika brigade of bands – The Beatles, Beach Boys, Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, Big Star, Bob Dylan, BJM and Beachwood Sparks
