Lilys - Everything Wrong Is Imaginary

Lilys: Don Piper (vocals, guitars, lap steel guitar, drums, percussion); Kurt Heasley (vocals, guitars, programming); Michael Johnson (vocals, guitars); Michael Musmanno (electric guitar, keyboards, Oberheim synthesizer, electric bass).

Kurt Heasley's restless musical odyssey continues with the Lilys' 2006 release EVERYTHING WRONG IS IMAGINARY. Equal parts '90s shoegaze guitar-scapes, '60s-inspired sunshine pop, and driving contemporary indie rock, the Lilys' music is a case study in melodic, psychedelic bliss.

Much of the album's success is attributable to the dense, dream-like production of Michael Musmanno (who also contributes programming, bass, keyboards, and guitar to the album), and a host of fine studio musicians. But EVERYTHING WRONG is undeniably Heasley's vision, from the heavy-lidded singing, to the swirling guitars, to the shiny pop melodies stretched across an artfully calibrated universe of sonic experimentation.
