Title: Quirky? Definitely. Their Best? Maybe.
Review: The Sugarplastic are one of those supertalented bands that never get the credit due them. Each recording is a mini-masterpiece. With Will they take pop experimentalism to new levels (at the expense of melodicism at times). There is even an attempt to join the songs thematically. Echoes of artists as diverse as Andy Partridge, The Sandpipers, Django Reinhardt and The Beach Boys can be heard.The Sugarplastic's songs are immediately catchy yet don't get boring after repeated listenings. I've been playing 7x7x7 in my car for a month and haven't gotten tired of it.Fans of XTC, The Decemberists, Kaiser Chiefs and Doves will enjoy this disc.Maybe not their best but this is still classic stuff.[DW]
