    In my tribe Ohkay Owingeh NM, USA, we bury our dead with the rising sun , when we are most peace to help send off our loved ones so they can be free and rise up with the sun. So in the morning I feel most alive, waking up with the rising sun knowing that I am most alive to wake up another day to enjoy beautiful music, along with watching the world transform from dark to light.

I'm sure this is influenced by styles of music that I'm unfamiliar with, but there's something vaguely Appalachian folk about it. This evokes good feelings, when I hear this band, I'm just *gone.*
