Canadian brother-duo who blend influences of early Posies, some Fountains Of
Wayne with some moody, post-BritPop sounds. Skates gently through a quietly
pretty blend of the aforementioned sounds all woven together with solid
poppy laid-back songwriting. Echoes In All Directions contains a consistently
enjoyable melange of striking influences brought together with great care in
each songs arrangements and the craftsmanship of each song.
"4 stars. Skytone are probably the only Ottawa band - maybe the only
Canadian band - producing power-pop this melodic, structured and free from
pretension. The `70s/`90s British influences just drip out of the speakers,
as if Badfinger had climbed on stage with The Bluetones at Glastonbury. But
why steal Skytone`s thunder with comparisons? Rodney Doddridge is an able
vocalist and versatile lead guitarist, bringing brother Darius (bass) in for
harmonics at all the right moments. The melodies are simple, with notes
drawn out over the full four bars in most songs - just how good, catchy
power-pop should sound."-HourCanada. "4 stars.. The album is a power
pop gem reminding you of `90s era Brit-pop mixed with a Steely
Dan/Christopher Cross sensibility. The songs are mostly light-hearted breezy
affairs led by Rodney`s acoustic guitar and stellar voice. Highlights
include "The New York Song," a ditty about the Big Apple an the confusion
one feels when new to the city, "Springtime," a mellow-toned and
harmony-driven track about getting away from it all, and "Just a Little
Attention," a Tragically Hip inspired song about a girl needing some face
time. After a few listens you can`t help but sing along to most of the songs
as Echoes in all Directions is quite infectious. The Doddridge brothers have
that special gift of mixing original ideas with the more popular trends from
the last 30-plus years to bring a fresh uplifting listen for all but a few
to enjoy."FullSpectrum. Truly, a breath of fresh pop air!
