PERFECT BEINGS

A perfect album to start out 2014 with. This is one of those albums that will mark the year for me.

From the first song, which I heard on free streaming - canyon_hill, I detected a heavy 80's post English Settlement XTC influence. helicopter did little to change that impression. bees_and_wasps.- more interesting lyrics with excellent instrumentation. They kind of part from being XTC like in that they do have one eight minute song that wraps up the album, one_of_your_kind, and are not a duo that takes turns with song writing/lead vocals.

As much as I hate to describe a new band in terms of other bands they also remind me a lot of The Tea Club and progressive Umphrey's McGee stuff.

And as much as I hate to write a review that mentions progarchives (joke), this will probably be in the top ten collaborators favorites for 2014. But don't take me for my word, go to their website and check them out.

Progressive rock is alive and well.

Excellent quote in the CD package - some people say tha the end of the world is nigh consider instead_for a moment_that the world already ended and today is what remains a new world_unfamiliar_emerging from the detritus of the old
