Yet another bunch of young school pals from the North Shore, The Electric Confectionaries go delightfully against the grain: this is pop music alright, pop that tunes into the delirium of 1960s pop at its most exploratory and spontaneous. More importantly, these guys are clever and they won't be shamed for it. I'm not surprised to read that listening pleasures for the band include Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa, Miles Davis and Bartok. Their music, though stylistically primed on psychedelic-era Kinks, Beatles, et al, is far removed from the typical malnourished 1960s revivalists that constantly plague release schedules. The Electric Confectionaries can sing [in harmony, even], play like whippersnappers and their debut album album combines unbridled energy with rare discipline and skill.
