by nature and paisley by name, the new Weeds CD will surely grip you
with its swirling display of pop pyrotechnics. Live, they are on of
the best in-your-face rockin’ bands that you could ever encounter,
but in the studio they offer a different kind of experience: They
draw out, play around and mostly go for a more mellow and textured
approach. Still reliant on a Byrds and Who groove which is the starting
point for their excursions, they set forth propelled by Kurt’s dynamic
drumming to revisit various corners of the mid-sixties/early seventies,
but manage to apply the brakes just before skidding into Progland
and becoming the new Millenium’s Blossom Toes!
From the opening descending 12-string jangle of
“Save My Life” through the graceful “Future Move” or the sinous
interplay of “Changed”, you will find plenty here to delight the
pop fan with stoner tendencies…it’s definitely fine stuff once you
allow it to get hold of you. –Robin Wills
