The Lovetones
AXIOM- (TEE PEE)-Truly enjoyed their debut (BE WHAT YOU WANT) and missed record number two (MEDITATIONS)and here we are at their third installment. From the past (The Byrds) to the current (Teenage fan Club) and everything in between (Rain Parade, The Chills, The La’s, etc.) Matt Tow and his unkempt Aussie band mates have taken a big gulp of the past and let it pour out into 10 gorgeous songs complete with twinkling melodies, lush harmonies and swirl of not only all of the normal instrumentation but the added bonus of mellotrons, brass, strings, sitar and yes folks, a bozouki (I thought only Damon & Naomi used these ??). The pillowy cloud of “Pieces of Me”, the baroque opening of “Everybody Hides Away” , the jangle of “Say You Will”, the positively dreamy (that ends up majestic and sweeping) “Ordinary Lives’ to the heavenly, elegiac closer “Alone” AXIOM adds up to a record that hearkens back to the 60’s but sounds as current as anything you’re likely to hear on any modern radio station. It might not change your life but it could seriously brighten your day.
Listen now! New music from the Rogue Traders.
