This is a nimble bit of upbeat West Coast-style jangle pop and no mistake. Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, The Flying Burrito Brothers and all that stuff - it's all there in the dude on the back who's got that fringe 'n' tache thing going on. Yeah, alright, it's there in the music too.. As are the likes of Big Star or even more modern exponents of that sort of style like Teenage Fanclub. I remember their previous releases having a little bit more of a psych-y edge than this one but you can still hear a little of that in there, especially during the solo which has got just the slightest droney Spacemen 3 tinge to it. The sun went in when I put this on, which probably wasn't the intention.
Following 12 months which has seen London-based psychedelic popsters The See See, picked by Jack White to support his Raconteurs on a UK tour, 360 Degree Music are proud to announce the band have been personally invited by Brian Jonestown Massacre to support them on their forthcoming British tour. The band, who feature one Swede, an American, one Kiwi and a Yorkshireman have also released two sold out singles. The band have had airplay from BBC’s Steve Lamacq, Mark Radcliffe, Stuart Maconie, Tom Robinson and XFM’s John Kennedy. Although The See See is comprised of former members of groups including The Soledad Brothers, Grand Cobra, The Eighteenth Day Of May and The Waxwings (as well as acclaimed songwriter Pete Greenwood) they’re fundamentally a band of drinking partners, something which adds to the relaxed and unforced nature of the music.
Recorded by Sean Read (Manic Street Preachers / Seasick Steve) the single is followed by the BJM tour – 14th May Shepherds Bush Empire 16th May O2 Academy Birmingham 17th Academy 3 Manchester 18th ABC Glasgow 19th Spring & Airbrake Belfast 20th Academy Dublin. Track listing: Mary Soul; Big Wheels
