First album in 11 years for this ’60/’70s California sunshine-style band. “Sparks Fly Again” provides a pleasant Grateful Deadsian jam for summer roadtrips.
Garagey rock, recorded in Detroit, vocals that start mirror-staring introspection and wind up howling catchily over swaggering guitar and thumping beats.
Two brothers from Brazil who include some punk rock showmanship, some ’80s new wave smooth vocals, with samba and synths and ol’ timey rock’n’roll thrown in.
The album’s first single is a dark, mellow number, less reaching than The Kink’s classic “Alcohol,” but just as roomy, heartfelt, and simply beautiful.
Tampa-based Tallhart are the first band released by Say Anything’s Max Bemis’ Rory Records through Equal Vision. And it doesn’t sound like Say Anything.
