Four song EP out
now! A taster for Fruits de Mer's epic 3CD compilation set for
release next spring!
One
of the finest compilations from recent times must surely be Fruits de
Mer's The Three Seasons – Songs
from 1966-68,
featuring all your favourite psych-friendly bands covering their most-loved '60s tracks. If you missed it first time round, the good
news is the label is releasing an extended 3CD version next year.
Re-titled The Four Seasons 1966-69
it will contain all the tracks that made the original 3LP set such a
joy, along with a bunch of new recordings. As
a taster of things to come this four-song 7” extended player is
available from the label as of right now. The artists featured are
Chad & Jeremy, Schizo Fun Addict, Hanford Flyover and Us And Them.
Sixties legends Chad
& Jeremy give us an acoustic re-recording of 'Rest In Peace', a
track originally featured on their 1967 album Of
Cabbages And Kings. Schizo Fun Addict offer up a dreamy psychedelic take on 'Dedicated To
The One I Love', a classic track originally by the Mamas and Papas. Hanford Flyover are a new band to me, as is the band they've chosen to cover (Neon Pearl). On the strength of their track on the EP, a stately and elegant slice of folk-rock, both bands warrant further investigation. You can find out more on Hanford Flyover via their Bandcamp page. Regular readers of this 'ere blog may be familiar with Swedish duo Us And Them. For this record they've recorded a fabulously mellow version of Neil Young's 'What Did You Do To My Life?'
I
know we've only just put the clocks back but spring ain't that far
away. And with the promise up a new compilation from FdM there's
something else along with warmer days and brighter nights to look
forward to. Bring it on!
