2008 studio release from long time favorite band here and while we have raved and been fans of all their releases and Mike Jarvis’ previous band, The Blow Pops, “Cathedral Square Park” top all that came before it. He’s delivered the ‘tour-de-force’, his large body of work has overtly hinted and tapped on our collective shoulders. It’s a release I can confidently recommend to a vast majority of folks who are reading these words because this is the kind of CD that what so m any of us are looking for. Over the course of four well received releases, The Lackloves have exhibited a talent for reworking the lighter side of pop`s lineage, with The Kinks, The Hollies, Big Star, and Squeeze among those referenced in the "sounds like" column. Here, they have pushed beyond the spiked punch bowl and dipped into the Everclear. While still embracing some of the classic sounds they`ve proven themselves with, this one blazes with a more muscular feel, polished with swirling psychedelia and a sonic edge. Not to mention what you`ve come to expect from these slick popsters - jangly tones, sheer melody and harmonies to boot. “Jarvis is a gifted songwriter with a knack for creamy-smooth verses and choruses that stick in the listener’s head almost immediately’-AMG. None, more immediately than on “Cathedral Square Park”. “The Lackloves hit on all those anglophile nerves, combining luscious pop melody with instrumental muscle, groovy harmonies and sparkling guitars’.
