Vinyl Candy - Pacific Ocean Park |
RESTOCK!! Amen. Bring In The Choir, The Angels, the Heavenly Hosts - Jellyfish fans, we have something for YOU! Vinyl Candy are not only principally inspired by Jellyfish, Imperial Drag, Kyle Vincent, Supertramp and The Candy Butchers, you get the sense on listening to this debut that they live and breathe this music in every waking moment. Dedication to this type of pop art is more than casually noted, guys. This is premium sugar-coated pop hookery, my friends. Despite not having a huge, major label project that the ambitions that artists driven by the art of the aforementioned bands would normally have, Vinyl Candy make more than due with what they have on this self-released long-lasting gem. It`s quite enthralling and picturesque in the portrait of classic sunny power pop. As Jellyfish were back in the early 90`s, Vinyl Candy is wonderfully out of step with what is happening in their present. But that makes "Pacific Ocean Park" all the more bewitching and piquant. Rooted in Southern California`s pop rock scene and inspired by the classic greats of the Pop Rock world, Vinyl Candy, featuring keyboardist/bassist/guitarist Andrew Lehmkuhl, vocalist Tommy Van Zant, drummer WessC, guitarist Billy, and bassist Jason Denver, provide solace to those who seek more than the generic pop culture of the new millennium.
Many people feel that the music of today has been slowly watered down over the last 30 years to a sterile void of noise that neither sparks the imagination nor inspires. Vinyl Candy takes you back to a time when the music was fresh, inviting and warm. Pulling even more influences from the Beach Boys, Beatles, Eagles, Supertramp, Queen, Steely Dan, Fleetwood Mac and many others, its safe to say Power-Pop has never been more alive. Vinyl Candy`s heavy musical orchestrations, coated with layers of harmonies, melody, and unique sound will quench your taste-buds like a new piece of sugary sweet bubble gum. BIG TIME Extremely Highly Recommended!!

| THE BEST ALBUM OF 2004!!! Vinyl Candy POP!!! | |
| Reviewer: Jim Leber | | Vinyl Candy - "Pacific Ocean Park" - 2004
Opening the album with weeping slides into one power pop gem after another and,
that journey continues throughout this Power Pop Classic.
Its Jellyfish, meets The Wings, meets Queen.
From killer rockers like "Tranz Am" and "Movin' On" to radio friendly pop songs like "Heather" and "Too Late" to sweet flowing songs like "California" and "Stay"
Every song rings of that sweet sound produced only in the 1970's.
It is obvious that Vinyl Candy calculated every move and sound to create this masterpiece!
Warm and Fuzzy - Just simply amazing!
One of the best power pop album since Jellyfish's "Spilt Milk"!
I love every song and can listen to it over n over n over again!!!!
I cant wait for Vinyl Candy's second album to be released! |
