PETER AND THE PENGUINS -
HOW TO CHOOSE A SWEETHEART
|
|
|
Here is a WONDERFUL power pop band from NORWAY and they sound like the BIG THREE "B" Bands from the 60's: *THE BEATLES, ** THE BEACH BOYS, and ***THE BYRDS circa 1965!!!!
This is a FABulous cd sporting 14 fun 60's inspired tunes and all of them are delightful! The album is really "fun" to listen to. "You should have seen my turtle" is a good example of what "fun" pop is all about. "There goes Pete Best" is another humorous classic. And they even cover The Spongetones--"Here I go Again"...giving it an extra dose of pop power!!!. Other favorites include "I want You" and "That Day will Come" but really and truly all these songs are superb! Great layered vocal harmony, jangle guitars, and a real spirit of 65 make this a fantastic cd. A must have and not to be missed...Come and get it!!~ One of NORWAY'S BEST POWER POP BANDS!!!! GRADE A

BRAD SENNE -
AERIAL VIEWS
|
|
|
The new cd from BRAD SENNE is magnificent folk pop of the high order! I am talking about modern folk pop! Nick Drake's "PINK MOON" is a fair comparison but this album is not so cut and dry a that one. Sound wise this is right up the alley of all IRON AND WINE fans! Think of IRON AND WINE songs like " Sunset soon forgotten" or "Each coming Night" as reference points. Fans of DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE will be right at home with this too! (Think of songs like "I will follow you into the dark" from their "PLANS" album for proper reference. But for me, I enjoy BRAD SENNE more than that. He has a special atmospheric quality to his acoustic tunes that he makes all his own. (Brian Eno would be pleased with his ambiance!) Trance like guitar finger picking abounds and puts you in another world. Like a modern day Simon and Garfunkle but a little more current and perhaps a little deeper. Highlights include the opening "Sing and Dance" and the ambient Nick Drake inspired "Out in the Open" GRADE A

In the beginning was Screams, then came the Elvis Brothers, followed by Big Hello ..Today's it's THE HANDCUFFS. This is Brad Elvis and his recent band with Chloe Orwell on vocals. The sound fits nicely in the Bangles, Go Gos, Donnas, school of power pop. A great cd with superb production and catchy songs.

The HUMBUGS -
ON THE UP SIDE
|
|
|
The new cd from The Humbugs "On The Up Side" is the best thing I have heard from this band yet. The album also lives up to it's name. The perfect production, catchy jangly guitar based tunes, and stellar harmonies all contribute to a winning sound scape. The album boasts 11 solid no nonsense power pop tunes and not one bad song in the bunch. It's solid throughout making this a grade A release. When listening to this, 2 excellent bands immediately came to my mind. The Posies and The Orange Peels.
If you are fans of either of these bands, you will find plenty to enjoy from THE HUMBUGS! While comparisons are inevitable, THE HUMBUGS have certainly achieved their own sound making them one excellent band in their own right! Not to be missed, pick this one up!

PRETTY THINGS -
PHILLIPPE DeBARGE
|
|
|
This album was recorded in 1969 and has literally sat on the shelf for 40 years! Better late than never! This is the Pretty Things at their creative peak--during their psychedelic era...It was recorded right after their masterpiece " S.F. SORROW" and is probably the closest sounding thing you will find to that album. Fantastic harmony vocals, and exploratory sounds make this album a must have. Superb sound is taken from the master tapes!
12 Originals in the classic Pretty Things style..acoustic, fuzz, and backwards guitars abound, along with Mellotron,Harpsichord, and heavenly three part harmonies of Phil May, Wally Waller, and John Povey. A real gem! GRADE A
