The Fresh & Onlys - Play It Strange
The Fresh & Onlys are a garage rock band hailing from San Francisco and put a classic Californian spin on this lo-fi genre by writing peppy and memorably melodic tunes with simple chord structures, echo-y background vocals and good ol’ fashioned good times. This is their third full lengther and is quite a discovery for me - particularly the track Waterfall - which keeps getting spun. Pitchfork notes the mix of Buddy Holly, the Byrds, Donovan, Sebadah & The Dandy Warhols. Which seems about right.
