Song of the Day: Family of the Year – St. Croix

Posted on
28 Sep 2011

Saint Croix is an island in the Caribbean Sea, and is the largest of the U.S. Virgin Islands. Inhabitants are called Crucians. There are two towns on the island; Christiansted with a population of 2,433 and Frederiksted with a population of 859. The total population of the island as per the 2010 U.S. Census is 50,601. Who knew this even existed? certainly not me.

It is also the title of the new EP from Los Angeles band Family of the Year. Drenched in sunny disposition, the uplifting summertime track “St. Croix” can only be written by people who live in the the year round weather of California. Featuring catchy harmonics and a good head shaking, toe tapping beat, “St. Croix” is a good introduction to this band, who first came around a few years ago with their debut album Songbook.
