another xmas gift card purchase recommended to me by Tem in feb when it came out...
this is the debut album from these UK psychadelic rockers...
roots of this one are planted firmly in the same ground as Tame Impala,though slightly more commercially accessable that those guys from Australia.
a couple of these guys were previously in a band called The Moon's, of which, i have their debut set also.
as is typical of psych rock theres lots of fuzzy guitars,swirling keys and a 'wall of sound' that accompanies the dreamy,floating vocals.
im guessing that maybe a full retro offering from new young bands in the psychadelic style will get underway shortly with the success of these guys and Tame Impala over the next couple of years.
best track here is the opening one called "shelter song" which was originally released as a single in 2012,this has a thumping Black Keys style drum sound to it which sends the album into orbit from the get-go.
only one track i do not like on this one, not sure why i dont like it, but i dont.
all up, a good collection of songs from a band who has alternative rock in the palms of their hands if their evolve and morph with maturity as eash album gets recorded!
