The Merediths: "Marmalade Maggie"

The Merediths are a pop-psych band from Louisville, Kentucky that focus on writing catchy accessible pop songs and then shaping them into some bigger. Their A Closed Universe EP, released last year on Debauchery Records, plays much like Voxrot's Mothers, Sisters, Daughters & Wives EP in that both records rely heavily upon their perfect pairing of vocal harmonies and graceful guitar melodies. Check out this song from last year's A Closed Universe EP.

[MP3]: The Merediths :: Marmalade Maggie
The song opens with a soft strum and then changes pace right away, transitioning into a round of sharp jarring guitar cuts followed each time with a quick roll of the snare. The pattern pretty much dupicates itself over the remainder of the song, but it manages to never wear thin due to the minor changes thrown in each go around. Each time it comes back around the "Marmalade Maggie" line, I get excited all over again.
