Release Notes:
--------
A splendid collection of soul, punk and psychedelia influences, sometimes
jingle-jangly powerpop, fueled by tune-smith brilliance and multitudes of
guitars and vocals, indebted to a versatile range of artists and styles. Named
after and inspired by the signature tune by late 60's psychedelic garage
pioneers the Moving Sidewalks, the 99th Floor became a unique live attraction on
the Norwegian indie rock scene of the late eighties and early nineties.
ôôEclectic Guitarö is a versatile alternative rock album from Norwegian band The
99th Floor. The 99th Floor seems to span the æ90s alternative sound with this
album, but their inventiveness, group vocals, and catchy choruses make the album
fresh and enjoyable. The 99th Floor take from many of the æ90s genres û punk,
pop, and contemporary alternative û and combine it with a variety of musical
influences, including The Kinks, Violent Femmes, and Hⁿsker Dⁿ to create a sound
all their own. ôEclectic Guitarö is well-recorded, from incredible bass lines to
quiet xylophones to dual vocals, and leaves little to be desired. ôHeadspinö is
a quicker, punk-influenced song with an impressive bass line and a pleasant
group vocal on the chorus. ôBig Boysö has a strong æ90s alternative sound.
ôGraceful Fall From Graceö closes things out with a slower alt-country sound,
more group vocals, and nice use of harmonica and country guitar rhythms. With
ôEclectic Guitar,ö The 99th Floor draws from a variety of influences and shows
their versatility in incorporating them into each track. Fans of æ90s
alternative and many of its sub-genres, give The 99th Floor a try.ö- RadioIndy.
