Space Kitchen - What's Cookin' EP

 


Toronto's Space Kitchen offer up their second EP and it is splendid 70s Pop Rock. All the relevant nods are here and I'm reminded of John Miles in particular due to the mixture of Guitar Riffs mixed with both Piano Pop and keyboard runs.

The best example of this is Believer Deceiver which marries all of this with hints of the likes of 10CC and Alan Parsons Project to name just two. The song even flirts with Modern Prog and Symphonic Rock It is the centrepiece of this EP.



Life At Sea is even nearer Prog with its Space Rock keyboards married to Riffs that are not unlike the chiming six stringing offerings from fellow Cannuck, Alex Lifeson's early 80s. My Love To You crosses genres too. A bit like Jethro Tull does late 50s Rock and Roll at times.

The 50s I love you vibe turns into a 70s keyboard run and then on to Classic Pop Rock. Look Out for the killer riff though. Lovin' 9 To 5 is a little more 80s arrangement wise. There is a lot to like here from the duo, I just wish there was more.



You can listen to and buy the EP here.
