“Nearly
live” LP from Medway's leading garage-psych outfit led by former
Prisoners bassist Allan Crockford.
We've
had the pleasure of featuring releases from The Galileo 7 in the past
on Harmonic Distortion - Their FalseMemory Lane
LP from 2014 and last year's 7” on State records 'One Lie At ATime'. Good to know then that the band are as busy as ever. To
coincide with their recent French tour the band have released a
blistering “nearly live” LP entitled The
Live-O-Graphic Sessions.
The 10 tracks give you an alternative “best of” and offer a taste
of what the band sound like live. And that's pretty darn tasty!
Spontaneously
recorded in the space of an hour with the help of Jon Barker (The
Senior Service) at his ad-hoc studio set up amidst his lithographic
printing press premises, the album is less soft-psych than their
previous studio outings and back in touch with their garage band
roots. Power-pop melodies and harmonies backed up with drumming set
to the rarely heard Keith Moon energy level. The VU meters must have
been working overtime, with the songs gaining extra brio and
brashness as a result. Recommended.
