Two or three years ago we were impressed by a kindly ep just released a new band from Gothenburg, The Greencoats , with undeniable talent who brought a new interpretation of pop-rock psychedelic sixties and seventies, filtered through the colored lenses of the Brit-pop, shoegaze and early Teenage Fanclub. In the last months of last year the worthy Tomte Recordings Stemp has given the band's first album of Branch Spatalovic A Blend Of Silk & Satin : Ten pieces inspired by the models mentioned above, which could come out safely from a disk of Crosby '69 ( There is no way back philology is free) or from the repertoire of groups of the early / mid nineties - I think Charlatans, Bluetones, Kula Shaker - trying to actualize the essence (not the fins) of the English psychedelic rock band in full-wave brit pop, and all the equipment (used in a more or less effective) of body whorl, the unmistakable aroma of Indian sitar, mesmeric jingle jangle guitar, electric acidic distortion, chorus deftly superimposed and so on.
In truth it is difficult to imagine a group more "outdated" by Greencoats (not that the genre itself is dead, but follow different paths, more hybrid and less stringent dell'ortosossia style and sound of the Swedish band), but when our push on a hypnotic and energetic power-pop à la Dandy Warhols ( Stay a while , A photograph of memories , Can not find the time for us , all on the verge of copying ...! ) are if anything exciting, amusing and entertaining. In a couple of episodes also appears the gracious voice of Malin Dahlberg (We Are Soldiers We Have Guns).
