The See See - Up The Hill/ Citadel Shuffle

Up The Hill/ Citadel Shuffle by The See See

4...according to our on Fri 07 Mar, 2008.

I'm trying to get my bready head round this 7" on Great Pop Supplement by The See See. And it's easy open highway charms are beginning to infiltrate my waxy ears. 'Up The hill' is a laid back strum-a-longa AOR anthem in waiting. Proper laid back folksy country rock, desert swept, roof down trucking music sounding possibly like Gram Parsons, Crosby, Stills & Nash or The Allman Brothers. There's only 300 numbered copies of this in the world on this conisseurs retro-tinged label.

Debut 45 from what has become something of a multi-national supergroup of sorts. Ex- eighteenth day of may mainguy, richard olson, soledad brothers drummer ben swank, former gps 45 guy pete greenwood on guitars and lap steel and kevin peyok.
2 fabulous slices of southern u.s folk rock, recalling gene clark, the byrds and burritos with a passing nod to big star perhaps. Beautiful, soaring vocals and a gem of a 45 to open up with. Early gigs included bill doss from the olivia tremor control- unsurprising given the uplifting nature of the sunny psych tunes within… 300 only 45 given the usual GPS packaging treatment.
