The Generationals—the New Orleans Phil Spector-loving band responsible for the fabulous 2009 record
Con Law—have returned with an even richer sound for their second release, the
Trust EP. Recorded in Washington, DC, title-track "Trust" is the best ear candy I've heard all year: an infectious amalgamation of hypnotic bass riffs, swelling guitar chords and sharp rhythmic solos that join and add texture to the band's already hook-laden jangly pop sound. It's appalling
Con Law didn't launch these southern gentlemen into stardom, but with this EP and the equally insatiable "Either Way" featured on the soundtrack for the Hollywood rom-com
Going The Distance, it seems a wider audience for these gems is all but inevitable.
Trust is out November 9th on the always excellent
Park The Van.
Generationals - "Trust" (from
Trust EP)
it's like Best Coast's 'Boyfriend', but where that falls short as just a great riff over and over, 'Trust' keeps going as that plus a totally realized work; a masterpiece!
ReplyDeletegenerationals' "trust" sounds absolutely nothing like that horrible best coast nonsense.
