ali ali oxen free (self-titled)

I bought this album my freshman year of college. I went to a concert of local bands, and these guys were one of the groups playing. They played an awesome acoustic songs called "Seesaw Simplicity" and I decided to buy their album. Unlike their concert, the album is very hippie-ish. The music is driven by two acoustic guitars, but there are a lot of various instruments included on the tracks. The vocal are mostly harmonized with a male and female voice and the melodies and harmonies, not to mention the lyrics, make me think more of San Francisco in the 60s than Provo in the 90s. I don't really listen to this album much, because there are only two tracks I really care for, both of which, and I don't know of these means anything, were recorded live. The album has actually received quite a bit of play, because Jen liked it and listened to it fairly regularly. No link for this one.
