Heads up fans of SHOES. The Broadfield Marchers may be the most Shoes inspired band I`ve heard since The Spinning Jennies, but add slices of other classic pop influences like Guided By Voices(at their very finest, pop-wise), "Sell Out"-era Who, Badfinger, Cheap Trick, Alex Chilton, early Pink Floyd and others. These short and succinct songs (many under two minutes) are ethereal, sophisticated, and filled with pop craftsmanship. It appears that the members of Broadfield Marchers have been quietly writing and recording power-pop gems for several years. Until now, few folks have walked in the hazy sunshine of the Louisville, KY trio. The vault has finally been cracked with this fabulous record. The influence parade themselves, no doubt - all the while the Marchers avoid cliché tribute, maintaining a freshness not unlike contemporary practitioners such as Field Music and The Shins. "Dustin and Mark Zdobylak are powerpop fans and proud of it. You could spend this breezy, mid-fi 13-tracker marking off the influences- the title track unconsciously cops a slice of Strawberry Fields, for example, and various others ( The Who, Pink Floyd ) litter the rest - but there is still enough things to enjoy. Could it be unselfconscious, almost naive digging of the music they love? Cheap but cheering."-MOJO. "Would it be too over-the-top to declare that Broadfield Marchers - led by brothers Mark and Dustin Zdobylak - sound like Alex Chilton fronting Guided By Voices? The Louisville,Ky trio`s debut dreams in Technicolor power pop and plays in basement-quality fidelity. Twisting and floating in the rarefied upper register, these brothers` Byrdsy high harmonies make you want to believe." - Magnet. "Totally addictive lo-fi power pop trio from Louisville w/ lotsa moves lifted from the Wilson brothers and Sell Out -era Who, but assembled w/ the ham-fisted "precision" that made Salvation Army SO MUCH BETTER than the Three O`Clock." - Arthur Magazine. EXTREMELY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
