The Deadmans Danceband are a loose collection of musicians influenced by the west coast sound, specifically the music and attitude of The Grateful Dead. As they have progressed songs have naturally evolved out of their on-stage jams, the best of which have been collected here by bassist/writer Bob Croydon.

 

   Filled with mellow, sparkling sounds, the songs within are relaxing and psychedelic in a laid-back and warm manner, the guitar rippling beautifully over some wonderful riffs and melodies, the whole album a delight, best heard by flickering firelight. First highlight is the wonderful “Starfield”, the fluid sound flowing into “Mr Night”, creating a brace of songs that sparkle like the evening sky. As the collection progresses, the band change gear effortlessly, whilst maintaining that mellow glow, the slowly changing nature of the music perfectly suited to the bands talents, creating a suite of songs rather than a collection of individual tunes. By the time you reach “Seventh Season” the music has soothed your troubles away, allowing you to float off into your own personal paradise. 

 

    Quietly unassuming on first hearing, this album slowly grows around you until, finally, the heady perfume and languid atmosphere makes you realise how delightful it really is, nothing new but perfectly realised.
