Circe Link with Christian Nesmith

I mistakenly posted this on another forum. It belongs here

Circe Link, along with Christian Nesmith (son of Monkee Michael Nesmith) has quite a following of youtubers who eat up their tasteful and varied covers. These are overwhelmingly simple acoustic jaunts brought to new life by Nesmith's arrangements and acoustic guitar along with Circe Link's unique but lovely vocals. They had released a few albums of original material, mostly of an indie-pop flavor, which I've also enjoyed even if that's not a favored genre for me.

Among their popular covers were two songs by Yes, so I know they had some appreciation for prog, but even those numbers were stripped down and simplified. So imagine my surprise when they started doing totally legit prog from the more intricate end of the prog spectrum! Adding to the surprise is that it's not the prog-folk one would expect an acoustic based indie-pop outfit to migrate to, but rather serious symphonic prog!

The new album, Arcana, just released this month, should solidify their inclusion on this site under the Symphonic Prog subgenre.
