Erm, I believe one of the bands thy've lined up are The Olivia Tremor
Control. I got their first album (on Blue Rose) and it's fuckin' great!
Sounds nothing like the above, but a bit early Floyd, bit Beatle-y, bit
Electric Prunes but y'know, in a modern context. They're from Athens,
Georgia but don't sound like REM! Very accessible, nicely psyche. Thumbs
up from JB!
