Echoes
of The Beach Boys, Phil Spector, The Jesus And Mary Chain on the
third solo single from Mississippi based singer-songwriter.
The sixth single from
Market Square Records is something of a departure from the
dissatisfaction-laden garage rock and anti-authoritarian punk
released so far. Indeed it could even be said that the overriding
emotion and sentiment of this latest 7” is one of happiness and
contentment. While a frost covers the ground as I write this, a
distinctly summery vibe runs through the grooves, perhaps due to the
warm Mississippi climate experienced by the artist, one Mr. Talbot
Adams.
A member of several
garage rock band, Adams has produced a record in praise of summer
crushes, one that's laid-back and minimalist. Guided by simple
melodies over a repeated I/IV chord progression, the A-side Green
Girl is full of haze and shimmer, and echoes the work of The Beach
Boys, Phil Spector, The Jesus And Mary Chain, '60s girl groups, and
'80s dream-pop. It's complimented nicely by B-side I Love You So,
which has a similar summery feel topped off with sha-la-la-las for
backing vocals. A fine release and new stylistic direction for the
blossoming label.
Limited edition (300) black vinyl 7” in picture sleeve.
