Album Review

Reviewed 2013-02-20
Psych faves are back with all the hazy guitar and organ tones of before, with their increasingly summery/dancy tones coming out a bit more here. Harmonies, drum machines, grooves, solos; they’re all here.

1 (4:56) Ringing, driving, finger-snapping piece. Brings to mind the feelings that fast cars and hot asphalt should stir in anybody raised in the Rust Belt
*2 (4:45) Echoey 80s spooky synth rhythm section meshes perfectly with screeching guitars and harmonous vox
3 (3:46) Upbeat, tambourinish percussion, this one’s a daytime, even morning piece
*4 (4:11) Fuck yeah, choppy, warbling, driving on all fronts. Pick up a beer and play this with some motorik stuff and the iheartradio folks won’t know what hit them
5 (3:31) Too many hits, is it supposed to sound like that? (yes) What the south will listen to in 2040
6 (4:28) Called “Dance Pt. 3” and reasonably so, snapping drums, high groove element, requisite solos near end
7 (5:35) Rollicking, hand-clapping, ever-repeating rhythm/organs, sounds like summer
8 (4:34) Organ-led, mid-tempo/slower piece.
*9 (6:38) Slow, repetitive, mollasey closer. Low vox complement spacy, warbling guitars. The sounds of late night
