This is a fab album. There are strong echoes of UK psych and sunshine pop - the songwriting and vocals remind me of the bands associated with John Pantry - high praise indeed (do grab a copy of 'the Upsidedown World of... if you haven't heard it). The Zombies and the Kinks are in there too, as well as more recent bands like Green Pajamas. The band keep it simple, which is a bonus with a psych-inflected album - they let the wonderful songwriting shine through. Buy this, pop pickers!

Really great collection of chill, surf-rock songs. Easy listening throughout the whole album, track to track. Love the funky lil riffs and the vocals are very smooth. I appreciate the balance of drums to music and vocals, doesn't distract. 'Signs' and 'Say Goodbye' are my favourites as well. ☽ rheanne ☽
