As Reviewed By Mister Esquire.

dreamy psych pop.
a lovely amalgamation of 60's psych, 70's glitter with a krautrock sheen, plus a good dose of late 70's/early 80's power pop.
all of it spun in a synthwash.
=one of the years best.

PLAY THESE TRACKS: ANY/ALL/RANDOM/IT'S MEOW-LICIOUS!

1. slow, subtle fade in. voice: 'gotta be above.'
rhythmic, hypnotic, krauty psych.
2. slowed and dreamy. vintage 60's brit psych. fuzzy gits galore.
3. PURR-FECT II: dreamy, 80's power pop beat. organ heavy into distorto dreamy gits. gives way to bells in the end.
4. very 70's, t-rex/beatles. fade in, fade out...
5. percolating synth begin. so processed.
6. PURR-FECT: poppy dancy 70's cheese. seems to almost end, but it doesn't. it comes back sad, back to upbeat. bleeds into...
7. this. soulful stuff. lennon.
8. poppy forlorny. cocktail party conversations in the background, laughter. guitar jam. chorus fade.
9. sabby -chugga chugga! (play with budgie to!)
10. organ washed hypno -sudden stop.
11. strings -harpsicord?, jumble drummy. slowed and reflective. spoken voice insert again. druggy.
12. piano -I like piano! saddy. forlorny. (funny)
