What??? Is this...Power Pop?!? It’s sublimely weird. What if the Romantics took over Bow Wow Wow and wrote a song? “Apache Dancing”.
There’s a bunch of The Byrds as well as The Knack in here with some Big Star as well. If only they toured with REM or somebody they might’ve had a chance.
Perhaps it’s that I’m just hungry for music like this but I really love this record. It’s at times delicious, goofy, dumb and comfortable.
