Sometimes you just get a record that is filled with good songs. And there’s no two ways about that.
The album isn’t a concept record, it’s not destined to alter the way we think about a genre, it’s just solid.
The Producers come to mind.
The Late Show.
Welcome Interstate Managers by Fountains of Wayne.
There’s a host of great records that are collections like this.
This is one of those records.
I don’t know much about The Elektrics. I know that I adored their follow-up.
The glam pop of the opening track gives way to sax driven pub rock and the energy of tracks like “Indifferent” and pummeling “Tonight”. I could do without the Devo-esque “Plastic Sound”.
These guys get dumped into the whole Knacklash of 1980 but, actually, I think they are better songwriters than anyone really knew and, dammit, where did they all go?
Well, Marco Delmar is a hotshot record producer. In know that much
