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!
