MAJOR FIND!! Simply, it gets no better than this Canadian import. Classic jangled up power pop that fans of Michael Carpenter will not want to miss. In fact, brothers Chris and Andrew Ledrew sound Mr. MC as well bringing to mind other Not Lame faves like Ben`s Diapers, The Pendletones, James Cooper,
Doug Powell and Orange Humble Band. Now, those might be sort of `insider`
names to drop, but that simply means that you have not been spending enough time at Not Lame. More high-minded, higher-profile signposts would be lots and lots of classic Squeeze, The Odds(which makes good sense as they are Canadian), Tom Petty, Human Radio, The Finn Brothers and The Byrds. Like we
said, `classic`. Brothers In Stereo are consumed in vocal passion
with pulsing hooks, gorgeously layered ringing guitars and triumphant songs that herald the fact that this 2003 release is, tragically, not bandied and heralded as a modern-day pop classic. Brimming with meaningful, poignant lyrics, wistful, wonderful harmonies galore and a upbeat, positive attitude, this CD deftly balances shimmering driven songs and vaguely rootsy jangle. A full evolved musical education two talented musical visions, all grounded in classic Not Lame-styled power pop, sugary strum and heavenly jangle and glowing songs of aching beauty. Big Time Extremely Highly Recommended!
