This is a very enjoyable 60s psychedelic pop throwback, sounds pretty authentic compared to a lot of stuff. Their first album was very Bowie and T. Rex influenced, pretty glam. The sound here is much more refined and the glam influence is minimal. Just a great psych pop album. Too bad their name is stupid. |
Nice! I just listened to this today myself. It's pretty decent. I had never heard them before...and honestly, it was the name that got me to check them out. I figured anyone who's gonna name their band that has to have something going on. Like the Butthole Surfers.
I think we are finally getting into the swing of things with 2013...this was a solid album, Yo La Tengo's - Fade, Toro y Moi - Anything in Return, Gliss - Langsom Dans (anyone who heard Devotion Implosion and liked it, be wary...they are starting to move away from the fuzzy shoegaze sound. But in a nice way)...all good stuff.
