Editor's note

Yancy's straightforward songs and gradual shift

A Los Angeles band whose melodic, personal tracks like 'Always Be' found listeners over years of touring and recording.

If you want to hear what they're about, 'Always Be' and 'One Of A Kind' give you the picture. They're the kind of songs that stick around.

Their songs have a direct, melodic quality that feels lived-in rather than polished. Tracks like 'Always Be' and 'One Of A Kind' connect because they sound like something you might hear from a friend's band that actually got it right. They put in the work touring and recording albums like 'The Long Goodbye' and 'Lost and Found' without chasing trends.

They formed in Los Angeles in 2005 with Emily Hastings on vocals, Ethan Carter on guitar, Josh Anderson on bass, and Jake Williams on drums. Their albums showed a gradual move toward more considered arrangements and harmonies over time.
