Mark De Cerbo & Four Eyes - Sweet On The Vine |
Mark De Cerbo has been around the San Diego music scene for decades. He`s got a story to tell and there`s going to be a compilation here soon from Wizzard In Vinyl that will tell the story of Four Eye`s skinny tie power pop days of the late 70`s/early 80`s. But "Sweet On The Vine" is new material from De Cerbo and band and it`s, thankfully, there`s not a lot different than what the older material sounds like. This is classic, pitch perfect power pop, the kind that we love, goes down smooth with a smile and points us to want to share with others. It`s not just that the music is bright and catchy, the sound of a top pop tunesmith working at full strength; it`s that
the songs themselves are often lark. "He has been described as being part of that elite fraternity of popmeisters whose ranks include Paul McCartney, Cliff Richard, Eric Carmen, Nick Lowe and Glenn Tilbrook. They dont just write songs, they craft them; they mold them into neat little packages that find their way into your ear and take up permanent residence. San Diego Magazine. Yes, indeed, there`s plenty of Squeeze here(more Glen than Chris) and the writer is on the right path but you can add lots of Michael Penn, too. Also, he reminds us of Idle Jets/Pat Buchanan in that these are sophisticated, carefully crafted, extremely well produced songs that have had a lot of thought put into them to yield the delights here. There`s an intimate feel to all this gorgeous material and it`s never in a rush to get to that catchy chorus. This one that will reward and grow extreme pleasure, rest assured. Big Time Extremely Highly Recommended!
