Judie Tzuke's early to mid 80's period (as well as Joni Mitchell's) is very similar to what these guys do in regards to overall production and progression. Same general well of ideas. It takes a certain amount of laidbackness to enjoy the whole Californian / L.A. vibe but the craftsmanship and interplay is where the value is at. They're like one of Tarantino's imaginary dream-team bands come to life.
