El Gato ~ We're Birds (2002)

This is a bit of a minor psych masterpiece, IMO, with jangly guitar and jaunty keyboard.

I have never failed to turn to this and ever once thought, "Why did I put this on?" In fact, once or twice, I have listened to it with a big ol' goofy grin on my face.

This.

Bought it before I finished flistening to it.

ETA: Now, having finished listening to the whole album, the second track, "Between Dog and Wolf," reprised in the last track, has a decidedly Paul Winter Icarus feel to it.

That's not a bad thing, by any means.
