Watch: GOOD LISTENERS 'Don't Quit Your Daydream'

Check this out!

This is the story of two life-long musicians (Good Listeners) who road trip through the heart of America recording their third album. Along the way they collaborate with an offbeat cast of strangers who force them to reconsider what it means to live a life dedicated to the art of music.



THE GOOD LISTENERS
"Imagine a lively puree of the Beatles, Beck, Radiohead and the Shins, mixed with generous dollops of exotic spices and organic sounds, and it approximates the style of The Good Listeners, a tender balance between radio-play accessibility and artistic abandon.

Contributors to the 'Devil Wears Prada' soundtrack, The Good Listeners tend to downplay their musicianship, identifying their respective band responsibilities with the vague label of "instruments" under their names. Their way of working in the studio is the recording equivalent of a collage. "We have kind of a weird style of production," Khyber said. "We call it the spin cycle. We basically hang on a chord and break it down almost like an animator would, and we add layers and layers of guitars and things on that single chord as it loops. We surprise ourselves with the compositing of it. It's like assembly art." MSNBC.com
