God. After the new wave of Shoegaze, the old guard are back. Halstead & Goswell are back with a new album under the Mojave 3 banner and I'm wanting to be annoyed by it's jangly Byrdsian grooves and Lush-lite harmonies but I just can't stop tapping my feet to opener 'Truck Driving Man' You can't argue with well produced guitar pop unhindered by fashion or plodding averageness. It's the deftness & ease of these songs. Uncluttered, catchy & simple, like say Teenage Fanclub's finest moments or perhaps Go-Betweens later material. See also 'Raintown' era Deacon Blue on 'Breaking The Ice'. Nice classy summer pop with an airy bounce & dare I say it, music with a bit of soul & feeling. Quite surprised I like this but I do!CAD 2604
