THE 1900s - Cold & Kind

Cold & Kind is a highly ambitious record overflowing with erotic melodies and of course, the band's trademark vocal harmonies. Recorded mostly live to tape, the record captures the energy of the band's remarkable live show while also benefiting from the addition of large string and horn sections. While Clocking in at exactly 40:00 minutes (in honor of finishing the album on the 40th anniversary of Sgt. Peppers), Cold & Kind keeps one foot in the past, one in the future and another foot in your heart. "Back in the day, AM radio was the assimilator of the airwaves; transistors tuned to sunshine frequencies and trebled harmonies And while those blasts are long past, the 1900s absolutely nail that vibe on their rich and confident debut." � Bust. �The bouncy, piano-driven "When I Say Go" would sound perfect blaring from a convertible on the Pacific Coast Highway circa 1975. "Acutiplantar Dude" uses Zombies-style harmonies to pay tribute to a friend who died of a drug overdose. You can practically see (and smell) the hippies swaying to the pastoral "Georgia � Harp.

�With a six-person, mixed-sex line-up, the 1900s have lots of chances to lay it on thick but that'snot their thing - everything here is understated. "Cold & Kind" is subtle psychedelia reminiscent of early Jefferson Airplane while other tracks are bubblegum gems built around surprisingly simple hooks. Not exactly the Starland Vocal Band but feigned innocence hasn't been this enjoyable since "skyrockets in flight."-Desert Living.
