Killer pop drenched in psyche but with a classic pop tone. Elements of
Wooden Shjips, BJM, Jesus and the Mary Chain, The Raspberries, Big
Star. Unlike most "psyche" stuff of late the male vocals are
decipherable and part of the music, you know, like a pop song. But
killer tones, crunchy bass, atmospherics, melodies rule the day.
Really great band.
1)* (4:11) upbeat hip shaking wooden shjips style pop but w Brit pop
vocs instead 2)* (3:27) sultry bass line driven cool sexed up
3)*(2:35) crunchy bass, kick ass rhythm, basic pop rock, killer! FCC? "200 below on the iceberg of the bed where all the sycophants give each other head"
4) (3:51) dreamy Jesus and Mary Chain airy psyche
5) (2:56) upbeat
pop feel, Medicine comes to mind
6) (3:37) slow and tripped out
7)*(3:01) Latin conga beats lay the foundation of this irrepressible
upbeat load of fun
8) (3:00) simple pop feel, expecting Tommy James
to take the mic
9)* (4:19) another sugary one, perfect pop,
saxaphone?
10)* (4:03) chill with subtle samba electro drum beat and
epic drama in the chorus, soaring guitar melody, just epic and pretty
