Release Notes:
--------
The New Mendicants are Norman Blake from Teenage Fanclub, Joe Pernice of Pernice
Brothers, and drummer Mike Belisky of The Sadies. Finding themselves all living
in Toronto, they teamed up for this understated but beguiling work. Opener
Saratosa is pure hippy folk and beautiful in its own subtle way, but then
theyÆre off mining early the Merseybeat sound for the jaunty Cruel Annette. The
stylings change dramatically most every song: Follow You Down could be a
Clifford T Ward off-cut, while Shouting Match is Power Pop refined. A standout
is If Only You Knew Her, a poignant love song that outgrows its folk beginning.
To keep everyone guessing, The New Mendicants finish with a psychedelic stomp.
Not everything works as it should, but thereÆs an awful lot to admire here.
