Album Review
Your Imaginary Friend
Reviewed 2014-10-08
Strong elements of retro rockabilly, surf, fun 50’s roots rock permeate this. Fans of X, Blasters, Imelda May, Shannon and the Clams, Blanche. Not retro rock per se however as this has new flavorings for sure. Male/female duo, tradeoff vocs, strong guitar, bass, drums with a Farfisa organ (or similar). Good swinging fun stuff.

1) (3:11) surfy retro rock, with weird organ, boy girl vocs
2) FCCs, fuck in chorus
3) (3:33) swingy, male vocs
4) (3:25) romantic waltzy slow dance song
5) (2:45) rockabilly in the spirit of X
6) (3:26) sexy smarmy swingy bluesy girl singing with girl backups and great intro/outtro sample
7) (3:33) surfy, male vocs
8) (3:20) slow big country ballad feel, acoustic guitar, reminds me of Blanche
9) (3:16) strong indie rock feel, bouncy power pop
10) (3:18) another strong poppy bouncing indie rock track
11) (2:45) burlesquey, horns, swaggering sultry female vocs, cool tape effects subtle
12) (4:36) big bouncing with twanging guitar,dark and good
