Mood Six
A Matter Of…!
Genre: Psychedelic Mod
4 out of 5
Highlights:
A Matter Of
What Have You Ever Done
Far Away
I liked this one so much more than the previous Mood Six record and, like that one, I think there are some great hipster bands in the aughts who took off from this sound and made some great records (followed by terrible ones).
Like that last one, this is found on the compilation Cutting Edge Retro and, taken as a whole the comp probably rates higher than the individual spins.
I took some shit for pointing out the anachronism of albums like this before but, look, when Nightmare Of You took this sound and updated it in 2005 it sounded like a fresh take. This album, like The Steppes record, doesn’t do anything new to it. It’s just slavish devotion to a style that we’ve all moved on from.
