Soothsayer

Led by Tim Cohen (also of 3 Leafs) and Wymond Miles, our SF rock heroes are back with this brief collection of perfect pop songs. This is more low-key than their freaking amazing last LP, Long Slow Dance, and there are still a lot of blissful guitar sounds to bask in. If you like your rock ‘n’ roll jangly and melancholy in the way of early Byrds, here you go. You can’t go wrong, so play any. No FCCs.

1. (3:47)—Mid-tempo, twangy, glistening, trippy hippie-goth bliss-out.
2. (2:33)—Mid-tempo. Swooning over your crush at a high school dance in 1966.
3. (5:29)—Slow, soft. Tambourine, minor key piano and harmonica. Getting really spacey.
4. (4:04)—Mid-tempo, luxurious, spaced-out swing. Subtle horns.
5. (4:12)—Mid-tempo. More of a 70s jock-rock strut mixed in here. Reminds me of The Cars.
6. (2:34)—Fast, tight. Speeding down the highway in the heat and haze.
