Title: their masterpiece
Review: taking the swirliness of Creation Records heyday (my bloody valentine, swervedriver) andmelding it with Robyn Hitchcockish, puckish lyrics and tinkling acoustics--there's a winner, for ya.very very intense drumming, very lovely backing vocals. these guys are clearly, also, andfortunately into the Beatles. if you like Yo la Tengo, sonic youth, nick drake,red house painters and the go-betweens (which the black watch, weirdly, gets compared to--just cause thelyrics are so poetic, i think). one of the BEST RECORDS OF THE YEAR!someone said CURE meets KINKS--ok that works. "where there were orange trees" is like adream, chicks really did "her jet black hair," and the title track and "the angelsjust are so cool and rocking. i heard "Williamsburg" on the radio andthought it was the Psych Furs come to life!!!! haahahahahahah.they are pretty unlike ALL of those bands--the comparisons are just to help.buy this CD!!
