Two new split 7"s in this week from The Great Pop Supplement of which this is one. You're all probably aware of the sunny West Coast psych hooks of The See See and they don't disappoint here with a track that sits somewhere between the harmony drenched sound of Crosby, Stills and Nash and the bass line heavy groove of a Wooden Shjips tune. The result is a Coral-esque psych pop extravaganza. Flip it and a new Wirral-based band called By The Sea deliver a sea shanty shuffle complete with chiming guitars and warm baritone vocals. These lads pull no punches. We're talking solid vocal melodies and that reverb drenched guitar sound we are all growing to love. Nice psych 7".
One of 2 new 45s on The GPS for June, this one’s a split featuring a spanking new tune from The See See backed by a gorgeous debut from new Wirral band ‘By The Sea’.
“Automobile” once again displays The See See’s penchant for hazy, sun baked West Coast psych / power pop. Hooks a plenty, killer backing vocals, and a tidy follow up to the mighty “Late Morning Light” full length that came and went in a week on wax for the GPS, with a CD amassing salivating reviews throughout.
The Wirral’s “By The Sea” are steadily creating quite a buzz for themselves both on Merseyside and down here in London after a number of stunning live shows, where their (so far), small cannon of beautiful 60s flavoured tunes leave audiences eagerly tipping the band for future greatness. Sublime songwriting recalling The Left Banke, Gene Clark, The WCPAEB, with subtle nods to that first euphoric moment you heard the Stone Roses for the first time.
This single could almost only come out late Spring, early Summer- 2 gorgeous tunes in tastily packaged vinyl only. Just a perfect pop record and one which sees it’s release celebrated with a launch show at the perfect setting of the Williamson Tunnels in Liverpool on Sat. June 11th. 500 only so be quick.
