A mix of strong ABBA styled double harmonies and laidback Bellamy brothers/ Sammy Johns styled folk rock arrangement with dazzling arpeggios and swift strums and even swells of swampy, cosmic pedal steel. The loud chirping bird whistles at the start create an additional level of cheesy 70s novelty that sums up the mid 70s folk rooted soft rock/Adult Contemporary sounds of artists like Glenn Campbell and John Denver (who they mentored under).

Starland Vocal Band (1976) Afternoon Delight - LOST 70s GEMS
Built on an airy foundation of glistening acoustic guitars runs, this foursome sing with sleepy eyed gossamer harmonies about afternoon 'action' in a saccharine but still largely wholesome pop song. The band carried a strong 'Carpenters' vibe as well as a host of other influences in their folk/country pop style but could belt out a deep ballad when needed.
