When the great Henry's Dress broke-up, a light went out in San Francisco.
Would things ever be the same? Would we ever be dazzled again by such
pure punk/mod/pop greatness? With Amy Linton
on the case, there should never have been any doubt! After recording
and touring in the superb Go Sailor with Rose from Tiger Trap and
Paul from Crimpshrine, she got down to the business of recording a
bunch of fantastic songs that she'd been working on since the Dress
called it quits. The results are this amazing album.
Not content to merely (!) write some of the most sublime pop tunes
this side of Ray Davies, she also got busy in her garage studio and
recorded and produced almost the whole record by herself. It's a remarkable
feat that you won't believe once you hear the record. Every song is
given a unique treatment, and a love for such producers as Phil Spector
and Brian Wilson shines from each and every groove. This is no shameless
60's pastiche, though, as is the case with many other current artists
who claim to worship "Pet Sounds." The songs are all unmistakeably
The Aislers Set, with the echoes of classic pop past filtered
through a totally 90's aesthetic. There's really not words enough
to relate how multi-layered this record is, you've just got to check
it out for yourself. |
