SHOES - Black Vinyl Shoes LP
Highly recommended.
This record was made on a 4 track tape machine, and god does the whole spirit of amateurism add to its charm.
Fuzzy guitars and ethereal, soft spoken vocals deliver sickly sweet melodies that almost seem to have been written in a state of hypnagogia. Lest we forget the sincere, well crafted lyrics of romantic proclivities and the parts add up to an album of enduring pop nuggets that deserve far more love.
Drop the needle and let the boys from Shoes gently sway you with their pretty harmonies, and you'll surely feel the waves of pleasure that this triumph of pop/rock songwriting generates among many.
