Aural Innovations Review

FAST CAMELS "The Magic Optician"
Neon Tetra Records tetra-009 2007

From Aural Innovations 36 (May 2007)

A '60s-styled Brit-psyche combo...from Britain!
The opening track is a slow heavy chug-riff that the light production doesn't quite hold up, but thereafter it's pretty much Barrett-era Floyd, Tomorrow, Pretty Things and such. The title-track is a sure thing about a mysterious "garden-gnome" who pulls eye-charts, expressed by catchy Syd-style croon and backing-"aaahhhh"s. The song-writing team of guitarists Sturgeon and O'connor is impressive, the rhythm-section of Vallely and Mors solid. "Comforting Things" is a sad song with nice guitar effects for atmosphere, but this isn't exactly space-rock, so prepare to stay fairly rooted. And prepare also for a few expendables. As is typical, along with the more benificent characters, you get some real villains, too, such as the decidedly unsavory "Big Daddy Smyth", "he's gonna fuck your wife and fuck up your life...", etc. The closing trio of tunes is strong: "Gone" is a brief sweet reverie of times gone by, followed by the "Nobgoblin" and closing with another charac ter-piece, the excellent "Der Nazi Tea", the absurd life of Henry being vaguely remeniscent of Vonnegut's Billy Pilgrim...also dig the "that cat's at it again" outro. There ya go...some nice straight-forward melodies, a couple great tunes, and lacking in the pretentious quirkiness (kinda like planned spontaneity) that some such retro bands tend to display.

POWERPOPAHOLIC ALBUM REVIEW (The Shindig)

The Fast Camels "The Magic Optician"

This was the top album on rock critic David Bash's top 2007 list and I think it deserves some attention. The Fast Camels are unapologetically rooted in the feakbeat of 60's pysch-beat. This sun-blistered, psychedelic brand of 60s power pop and freakbeat is on the road to gain converts all over the UK and you can hear it now. "Like a Magic Optician" is a fine Syd Barrett styled single that is a real joy to listen to. "The Hump" jams with awesome twang and Drew Sturgeon's breathy vocals that recall Donovan. The "Comforting Things" and "The 2 Day Week" has a lighter Eric Burdon & The Animals feel to it. "Can you see me?" is a great driving jangle guitar fueled song that recalls The Byrds. My favorite song here is "Big Daddy Smyth" with its great hook and biting lyrics about a guy you don't want to cross. It also has other 60s era influences like Lee Hazelwood, The Beau Brummels and The Troggs. This is not an album that is merely influenced by the Psychedelic era. It is a legitimate companion to those great albums and chock full of memorable tracks. Original psych afficianados will love playing "spot the influence" and anyone who likes to be challenged to listen beyond the surface will love this album. For most of the fans of Rainbow Quartz artists that emulate the classical late 60s style, this is required listening. All you need is your lava lamp and some incense. It is most worthy of my top ten list this year. Thanks Dave!

Those halcyon days of the late 60's produced more than their share of San Francisco bands. Here's one who definitely left their mark.
