Our influences are pretty wide as we all collect records and listen to all kinds of music. As for our sound specifically, I would say The Byrds, The Velvet Underground, Stereolab, The Kinks…all those 60’s psychedelic bands…13th Floor elevators, Love, Incredible String Band, The Pretty Things etc.
The Gaven connection: Richie Gibson played with Gaven as a member of The Saffron Sect. Here's a link to an absolute banger where he's credited for sitar, autoharp and feedback.
