The Autumn Hearts - Mr Sunshine

 


Want to get straight to my musical heart? Release an album chocka with Summer Guitar bPop that adds judicious touches of Psych Pop that leans on Brit Pop and yet is able to visit New Wave and UK Beat. Well Newcastle Australis's The Autumn Hearts are a quartet that have done just that.

A song like Undone is prime time Supernaturals, yet When It Is Tomorrow perfectly captures the West Coast jaunty Summer 60s, almost Bubblegum, but with vocal harmonies to die for. You want some Jangle Pop? Well here is Over It.



Then there is my beloved melodic Psych Pop when the quartet get very close to The Anderson Council with an Alex Lifeson 80s Riff on Sink Or Swim. It is like 1964 Searchers or Merseybeat Jangle Beat on You Wouldn't Think It If It Wasn't True.

There's even a big Brit Pop Anthem to close proceedings on She Goes. However, the opener and title track describes the strength of what they do. A wonderful Psych Pop riff on a sort of Let's Do The Show Right. Wonderfully catchy and melodic, Mr Sunshine is an absolute must.



You can listen to and buy the album here.
