Album Review
Your Imaginary Friend
Reviewed 2016-04-18
Bent stuff, low fi pop that veers from strange new wave to garage and new psyche and twang. Guitar driven, often instrumental of echoey buried vocals. A defunct band(?). If someone told me this was (Thee Oh Sees) John Deyer's previous band I'd believe them. Quirky and very diverse this some rip roaring fun.

1) (2:42) minor arpeggio ballady instrumental 2)* (2:24) hard driving balls out! 3) (4:26) dark menacing swampy, samples at start, bad to the bone, goes upbeat midway 4) (2:15) cool sexy beat 5) (3:02) mellow 60's pop feel 6)* (5:41) unique mix of twangy garage guitar and psyche organ, weird piano, fun instrumental 7) (2:59) galloping western flare, cowboy ballad...kinda. 8)* (2:09) fucked up funny driving rock, instrumental 9)* (4:39) urgent pop strange dissonant guit melodies and vocs and trademark castle face echoes 10) (2:52) cool instrumental, dual guitar noodling, big soaring waltz 11)* (5:52) cool upbeat w buried vocs, great 12) (3:29) more of a mellow 60's pop flare, melodic. 13) (2:02) upbeat, cleaner, accessible, fun 14) (2:00) a solo on analog moog synth, classical styled soaring scales
