where 5 is one of the greatest pop-rock-indie-rock'n roll record of all time
In the three years since the release of New Magnetic Wonder, fu*%$#*&&)*)GJD6654...
I think its time to come clean now - my Dad introduced me to the Beatles! There, I said it. Whew! And they're still my favorite band of all time - and since I reached 30, I've started liking Paul and yesterday I watching the anthology with the reverence reserved for the Rain God of a drought hit village.
Apples in Stereo are what I'll call a true representation of a present day indie band...willing to experiment with different music and genres, having their own set of influences (mostly 60s) and making music they feel like making while trying their best to cater to the indie listening masses....and they do it well. This is not a record which makes me go Ga Ga Ga Ga but it has speaker friendly music (I can sense my beleaguered car speakers taking a renewed interest in life since I put this on) - it is disco influenced and that makes it interesting because people who did Disco wrote inane lyrics and had intolerable hairdos...this time the lyrics are tolerable, the disco sound is used but is not a rule..all in all it works well.
Allmusic Link (to know more about why they got into disco? the reviewer has the imagination of a gnat!) -
