Music to Share with Your Parents (or Kids)

Citing influences from modern indie rockers Belle and Sebastian and The Decemberists to the more senior sounds of The Zombies, The Positions know how to write a playful pop song. The horn section and flute are the highlights on "Flowers and Trees," playing crafty riffs that will make you want to break out those silly '60s dance moves. Lively vocals from Nicole Stoops bounce lightly atop the acoustic guitar rhythm part. This song is a melting pot of multigenerational styles, combining their childhood influences with modern indie-pop.
