Exciting new arrival from a mini-power pop super group that features Jayson
Jarmon from Liar`s Club, Scott McPherson of Tiny Volcano and Haste and Dana
Sims of Jet City Fix. The sound here is progressive power pop perfection, a
true pop tapestry mixing sly elements of Jellyfish, XTC, mid/late 80`s Elvis
Costello, McCartney Wings-era, Wondermints and Jon Auer. Even a bit of Pink
Floyd(see "Black Saturday" below). "Eclectic is a good thing. The Beatles
and the Beach Boys were influenced by
so many different things, and their albums, particularly those of the
Beatles, were quite varied in sound and styles. Vanilla is carrying on that
tradition, which had otherwise gone by the way of the dinosaur (or more
appropriately, by the way of the 12" vinyl). Bravo!!" "-David Bash,
International Pop Overthrow. Vanilla is a stylistic tour de force,
blending smooth Brit-pop, American power-pop, and Indie-pop. Simply put,
Vanilla is an aggregation of all things that go pop. Vanilla touches on
themes of middle-aged angst, lost innocence, misplaced expectations, and
love gone horribly wrong. While most pop rock is firmly rooted in teenage
trauma, Vanilla serves up songs of experience with humor and intelligence.
Theres no hiding a few gray hairs, and Vanilla hits that message head on.
Valentine, they opine, why does it matter / That Im drunk and so much
fatter? / Why does that elicit laughter, dear? There is more to pop in the
Vanilla universe than just cars and girls. With its layered vocals and rich
production style and bold artistic vision, Vanilla is anything but, one of
the year`s most original, striking releases!!
