London’s Treetop Flyers are an audible doppelganger for the vintage California folk bands of the ’60s like Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and America (“Things Will Change” is a near dead ringer for “Ventura Highway”, check it out below). The similarities are quite prevalent on their recent World Cafe appearance and the band is set to play a few US dates next month around the stateside release of their debut album, The Mountain Moves (already out in the UK and set for a June 25th release in the US). Check out some tunes and the full tour dates below on this band-to-watch in 2013.

Treetop Flyers, led by singers Reid Morrison and Sam Beer, won Glastonbury’s Emerging Sound competition in 2011. Last year, the band’s focus shifted from England to California, where it recorded its debut album at a Malibu studio.
