Pretty - Citrus Magic EP

 

Noisy but melodic and incredibly addictive, Toronto five piece have fashioned up an extraordinary EP. Food For The Moon wowed many when it appeared on a recent IDHAS 10 Song Mix with its hypnotic riff and edging toward great Psych Pop.

It opens proceedings here, but don't expect the three songs that accompany it to sound the same, because variety and inventiveness are the watch words here. Wait For The Sun is all Pop Rock chorus, accompanied by a BBC Radio Workshop like Space Rock feel and sung in a good ole boy style of Southern Rock vintage.



Coca Cola Death Squad is all 60s Psych with both Prog overtones and Heavy Guitar and a Farfisa sound that itches to get out. Worry is all laidback mellow, melancholic and moody and very hippy trippy, haunting even and again hints of Prog. 

Four very different songs are within this splendid EP that promises so much in the future from Pretty.  Wonderfully varied and incredibly arranged. It may blow your mind a little, but there is incredible melody. Psych doesn't have to be way out, it can be as good as this, but this is not that often.



You can listen to and buy the EP here.
