The Layaways - More Than Happy |
The Layaways don`t come at you with a wall of sound. A wall of sound can be intimidating -- it can tower over the listener and threaten to fall on them. What we have here instead is more of a bed of sound. And a big, comfortable bed it is, too. It`s a compelling mix of modern indie pop with classic vocal harmonies and new wave eighth-note rhythms. Think of Yo La Tengo covering the Cars and My Bloody Valentine. "The Layaways` sound isn`t punk; it`s new wave -- new wave for 2003, at least, with hints of shoegazer and 1960s garage rock thrown in for good measure."-- Chicago Sun-Times. "For those seeking respite in the thoughtful songwriting and pop sensibilities from days gone by, search no further than the Layaways` new CD. Tapping into a diverse pool of musical influences, these 12 tracks evoke the spirit of early Beatles, R.E.M., and the best of the Cure...Founding Layaway David Harrell has succeeded in blending the perfect mix of `60s, `80s, and `90s rock, then stamping it with his band`s distinctive signature..."-- PopMatters
