Not certain of where I heard of this band but I believe they were pitched to me as a psychedelic pop group, which isn't really the case for my ear, but it certainly is a retro/revivalist group hailing from England. I hear some Tony Carey/Planet P in some of the vocals and generally just a lot of early MTV-sounding influences, which isn't a bad thing. College radio must dig it as I heard some on WRAS from GA State while driving through Atlanta several weeks back. It truly is a shiny, happy, singalong pop record. I like it...I just don't think I'll keep it. If I want shiny, happy, pop music, I have tons of it already. The Wondermints is a similar band that comes to mind which I already own, but I haven't found myself motivated to play it in, say, two years, and that's probably a lowball guess. The last thing I need is a new entry into the vault that I doubt seriously I'd grab to play sometime before 2012. But I really like this record! Here is a link to the new video so you can see the 60's mod look and hear the catchy chorus for yourself. But I really like this record!
