The Good Stuff The band compares themselves to Os Mutantes, but I hear more Syd-era Pink Floyd in there than anything else, albeit with an updated sound. That is to say, this is some of The Good Stuff. Very nice.
ALtErNaTiVe ReTrO aNd PsYcHeDeLiC Thrillingly bonkers late 60s psychedelic pop..They reckon its like Os Mutantes,but i can hear The Who,early LOve,Queen (the ace guitaring) The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown(Specially the falsetto leap at the end of the chorus)..Its little eccentric time switches and wonderful absurd theatricality i 'specially liked..
STEVE ISONS IAC DIARY.... 21.12.07....I added this to another station earlier after finding it on 'The Good Stuff (thanks Todd) and thought it was defintely interesting,but another couple of listens to get used to its strange pecularities and i totally love it!The guitaring-specially the little licks in the verse- is absoloutly fantastic..Its got so much inventiveness and imagination and is a brilliantly arranged and played 'band' song,not just really cool from a songwriting point of view..
IAC GEMS n The Night by THE SQUIRE OF SOMERTON is a totally ace piece of creative retro-pop with a huge late 60s psychedelic flavour.Strongly.Influenced by early Queen,Syd Barrett and The Who i'm guessing.Featuring some of the most stellar n inventive guitar work i've ever heard..And what a thrilling ride it is ! The song is quirky n eccentric to the max ,chock full of ace dramatic changes,brilliant guitar riffs (my favourite the long bent note at the end of each verse ) but beautifully written and performed.. The band just about make those bizarre offbeat change hits that occur twice (once right at the end of the song) in unison..Must've taken alot of practice lol
