QUARTERS !

After the success of "I'm In Your Mind Fuzz" from 2014 the band decides to put that high energy, sing-a-long styled music aside until 2016 and 2017 and go all mellow on us in 2015. Releasing this album "Quarters!" and "Paper Mache Dream Balloon" where get some easy listening music that is very melodic and light.

I prefer "Paper Mache Dream Balloon" but it's barely 4 stars for me. It is more consistent though as an album while "Quarters!" named so because we get four 10 minute and 10 second tracks therefore "Quarters!" reaches higher because of the song "The River" a concert favourite. In fact it's on a third of the 15 live records shown on the site here by this band. I like this song, just a feel good piece of music, quite laid back and trippy.

It's the other three songs that I have difficulty with to the point of giving this 3 stars. And when I'm not that into a track and it feels like the band is dragging it along to get to that 10 minute and 10 second finish line, well, no this is a 3 star record in my world. But again most prefer this one of the two so take my opinions with a grain of salt.
