Release Notes:
Their third release (and second on Kool Kat) is a
pure pop delight and sees the band stretching out a
bit musically! Rick Hromadka explains - "'The new
album picks up where 'Circular Haze', our second
album, leaves off. Musically, it recalls the
'beautiful' blend of our psychedelic power pop and
lush acoustic orchestrations. Lyrically, it deals
with adult relationships, including bittersweet
breakup, and the celebration of new love. Saying
goodbye while saying hello, and everything in
between." All expertly delivered with the usual
"Maple" formula that never fails to feature plenty
of guitars (lots this time around), amazing hooks
and gorgeous harmonies! Features a beautiful cover
of 10CC's "I'm Not In Love"! "Paralyzed" sounds
almost like a latter-day Replacements song! "Fell
Off The Cloud" sounds like a cross between Martin
Newell and Cloud Eleven! Other songs also have a
strong Cloud Eleven feel as well! "Between Two
Worlds" and "Apology" are a terrific ballads! The
crunch-filled power chords of "Face In The Crowd"
are an air-guitar lovers dream! Think we like it?
Keeps getting better and better with each spin!
