I (truly) stumbled upon this on you tube without prior knowledge of this group. My eyes bugged out and my mouth involuntarily opened.
Accent is a 6 man international acapella jazz vocal group that formed in 2011 but didn't meet and sing together in the same room until 2014, all of it being done w/files online, but you sure as hell can't tell. They have 2 cds available on CDBaby that I bought yesterday after I discovered them. They represent the US, Canada (2), GB, France & Sweden. All of the vox are in English.
The Swede who put this group together through online chat rooms and caused me to jump up & down is Simon Akesson, the brains behind Moon Safari, who also has a passion for this kind of music. Needless to say if you've heard Moon Safari, the vocals are flawless.
If you like Moon Safari's constantly blooming acapella excursions or groups like Lambert, Hendricks & Ross, the Hi-Los or the 4 Freshmen, you should listen to this.
