Nicholls gives Steve Marriott a run for his money, though not in the best of ways. Would You Believe opens annoyingly so, then slips into a grouping of slightly popish light psych songs relevant to the spring of 1968, at the tail end of the Summer of Love.Įven with the hit, Would You Believe, touted as the most over produced record of the 60s, a psych pop love song of sorts wrapped in overblown baroque orchestration, where Mr. The style is good just not all songs have distinct hooks. The outro of It Brings Me Down has the feel of the title track of Ogdens Nut Gone Flake with Kenney Jones doing fill after fill over a real densely orchestrated, brooding backdrop. Incredibly consistent, although if pressed to choose a standalone I might go with Girl From New York, featuring scorching guitar from who I can only presume to be Steve Marriott. The songs are all fairly short and breezy but theyre so beautiful and well-arranged you cant help but feel pretty damn good listening to it. Reminds me a lot of Nirvana or Barclay James Harvest, perhaps with more wallpapery lyrics but the vocal harmonies are top-notch.
