T.V. Mike and the Scarecrowes
Spittin’ in Cursive
Debut Album from Oakland’s Rootsy Cow Folkers. Here is what Nate Seltenrich at East Bay Express has to say about it.
Offering a brilliant vision of early My Morning Jacket (minus heapings of delay) crossed with locals the Trainwreck Riders (minus punk-rock edge), West Oakland’s TV Mike and the Scarecrowes accomplish the rare feat of making folk-rock both transcendent and earthy. Anthemic melodies and atmospheric harmonies are fueled by strong banjo and guitar work, plus TV Mike’s absorbing vocals.
