Mystery Pop - s/t | Back in the mid 90`s there was a great, inconoclastic band called Spanish Kitchen(and featured Willie Aron who co-founded The Balancing Act), who blended many cool and unusually styled influences. The band never released a CD, sadly, but here in 2002, the band has resurfaced with a name change and a more streamlined and classically styled pop sound. Utilizing big, yummy and chompy guitar hooks inside a wide palette of invention and billowy rhythms. Crunchy, melodic rock in the "classic" vein with lots of harmonies and brainy, compassionate lyrics. The music is tuneful and muscular, with mellotrons and Moog solos and B3 and tack pianos and rhyming guitar leads and stacked harmonies. People who are still attached to the concept of an "album" tend to like it very much. "These guys are the real deal--an anomaly in L.A.`s convoluted music scene... a true diamond in the increasingly intelligence-insulting L.A. rough. It`s heartening to witness a troupe, all convictions intact, who are truly concerned with progress." --Entertainment Today "Power pop pulses with a Zep-like deliciousness... astute lyrics, handsome harmonies, sturdy back beat and downright durable bass, too--all making for a well-balanced musical meal... A delightful dinner of true passion one can get lost in." --Flipside Two massive Thumbs On From All Offices here at Not Lame!
