Spanish Only import. You want awesome freak beat, mod/garage-pop that was burning up the UK in 1965/66 but recorded in modern times and fully veined sound? Well, look no further than the excellent display of masterful pomp and energy of the Embrooks! Recently described as "a 3-way incandescent bulb under a glass mosaic shade" and "the hottest UK trio since the closing of Middle Earth", The Embrooks have been colouring the airwaves with their blend of Mod, Psych and Freakbeat for some 6 years hence. With the invaluable assistance of Messrs Gibson, Ludwig and Marshall, these 3 paisley-d poofs are making a name for themselves as purveyors of the highest quality British music on the scene today. "an unabashed attempt to recreate the freakbeat sound of 1966: splashing drums, Who-type power chords and distorted guitar leads, tight pop tunes with harmonies, and a generally close-to-manic forward thrust. "The Embrooks are not so much a mod revival outfit -- although that description would certainly do -- as a freakbeat revival group, if that mini-genre could be coined. Their sound is very much 1966-based, owing a great deal to the mod power pop sound of the Who and Who-type British acts of that time, as well as some to Continental (particularly Dutch) mid-`60s bands. There`s enough guitar distortion tinge to their rave-ups to qualify for the freakbeat tag: mod on the verge of becoming psychedelic, but retaining a hard guitar pop base." - AMG.
