The obvious reference point for their soaring indie rock is Arcade Fire, but comparisons have also been made to Broken Social Scene, Band of Horses, The Dears, Stars, Love and even ELO. But the band also owe a debt to shoegazing genre of the early 90s that spawned bands like Ride, Chapterhouse and Slowdive.

Carole King was one of pop music’s greatest and most prolific writers long before she found international fame with 1971′s Tapestry. King had already written hits such as Will You Love Me Tomorrow?, The Loco-motion, Take Good Care Of My Baby, One Fine Day, Up On The Roof, I’m Into Something Good and Pleasant Valley Sunday, often working with co-writer Gerry Goffin.
Tapestry was King’s second solo album, and it was a huge hit. King wrote or co-wrote all of the tracks, and included some of her favourite songs that had previously been recorded by other artists.
Eight of the album’s 12 tracks were hit singles – It’s Too Late, I Feel The Earth Move, So Far Away and Smackwater Jack for King, Will You Love Me Tomorrow for The Shirelles, (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman for Aretha Franklin, You’ve Got A Friend for James Taylor and Where you lead for Barbra Streisand.
The album itself for number one in the US for 15 consecutive weeks – a record for a female artist – but only hit number 3 in the UK. The Legacy version on Spotify also features live versions of 11 of the 12 tracks.
