This reminds me of that mid-90s Stone Roses/Oasis sound. The songs are a lot shorter, though, which is just a product of modern society, of course. “Sugar Drone” is a splendid way to start the album. “Loaded Gun” sounds like a serious version of Supergrass. I guess the sound is pretty clear cut.
“Blue of Noon” is another track that stands out. It has fun guitar. This whole album really goes well with a bowl of Cocoa Krispies and reduced fat milk, which you only bought because CVS sucks and ran out of the fat free.
The album ends with “Rock Bottom,” which has a ’60s early Rolling Stones feel to it, or perhaps the Doors without the organ. Can’t you picture them with shirts and ties and “long” hair when you hear this song? I know I can.
With all the wise-ass British guitar and harmonies you would expect from this type of band, you get just about what you’re expecting to from Hindi Guns. I worry that they would be boring live, but in the studio, this band can help you relive your Sega Genesis-playing past.
