Richmond Virginia's James Goodson releases this mini album swiftly after his debut album as dazy. Fans of OUTOFBODY (and there were many) will know what to expect and be delighted accordingly. This is great fuzzed up Power Pop, very US 90s.
Melodic yet scuzzy, you can't help thinking that these are songs that you've heard before, but can't quite pin down. You haven't of course and we are at an advanced stage where everything has been done before, but you are left with a comparison to an unintentional magpie.
That isn't to decry the offering, it is really good at what it does and there is a real catchiness to the songs, although all this fuzz can get a little wearing. Always In Between gets a little jangly and is dazy at his most poppy.
Tucked Inside My Head heads into fine Psych Pop and I Know Nothing flirts heavily with UK Glam Rock, so much so that I can't get Chicory Tip's Son Of My Father out of my head. There a couple of Primal Scream like Ooh Ooh Ooh's on different songs. OTHERBODY is a really enjoyable listen, but you can't help wondering where dazy goes next,
You can listen to and buy the album here.
