http://www.notlame.com/VLSTRATOCRUISER1.htmlStratocruiser - Smell Of Success / 41 Times (7" Single)7" Red Vinyl single from Stratocruiser! We don`t carry much vinyl and we do, it`s for good reason. Stratocruiser is such reason. "Weighty guitar pop that is equal parts Smithereens and The Shazam"-Amplifier. "Smell Of Success" encompasses the current Stratocruiser sound by being simultaneously grinding guitar rock, woozy psychedelia and sunny power pop. Mike Nicholson`s guitar and keyboards suggest both the 1966-era Kinks and 1969-era King Crimson(!!) in one song! Clay Howard`s vocals ram home his tongue in cheek lyrics with enough conviction to make the listener hang on ever line. The B side, "41 times" started as a leftover song from their last album, Suburban Contemporary. Left largely unfinished until the winter of 2005, it was sliced, diced edited and written to be a slinky late 60`s riff-rock tour-de-force. Heaps of wah-wah guitars, Hammond organ, thunderous but defiantly clever drumming from Robbie Rist(The Anderson, Wonderboy, The Masticators) and Howard`s multi-layered and soulful vocals make this way more than merely a B-Side. http://www.notlame.com/Stratocruiser/Page_1/VLSTRATOCRUISER1.html
