MANDREW - "The Wonderful World Of..." (Treefrog)

Este es el segundo trabajo de la banda de Mike Andrew "de ahí el nombre-,
cuarteto de Saint Paul, Minnesota dedicado al noble arte de componer
bonita canción melódica. Lo suyo parte de ese concepto pop contundente que
pudiera quedar más o menos definido si trazáramos una hipotética línea que
uniera a Lennon con Matthew Sweet, pasando por los Raspberries. Todo
dulcificado por cierta querencia "afortunadamente no muy acusada- hacia el
indie pop británico de guitarras y el estilo más contemporáneo de gente
como Brad Jones, Jon Brion o Michael Penn. Suenan a algo así. Bien, por
supuesto, y además son capaces de componer ese tipo de pieza que cuando da
en la diana eclipsa automáticamente a todo lo demás, se convierte en
clásico instantáneo y medicina infalible para todo momento y lugar. Aquí
es "Cocktail Tree", pero lo cierto es que rascando un poco la superficie,
hay mucho más que encontrar y disfrutar. Un muy buen disco, fácil de
escuchar y que acaba pegado cual lapa a tu subconsciente. Como debe ser.
Otra ronda de power-pop de empaque, en un momento en el que no andamos
â€"echa cuentas: Evans, Estepa, Derby, Supraluxe...- precisamente cortos de
material de primer nivel dentro del negociado. EDUARDO RANEDO.

how a librarian comes running whenever theres an indie boy in need...

google translate isnt helping me much... but i like the part about "very good disc, easy of to lists and that finishes patch ace lapa to your subconscious mind. Ace it must be."

ace it must be!! really, truer words have never be spoken!

Hello,
I will try to translate using my poor English...

"This is the second work from Mike Andrew's band -this is where the band's name comes from-, a quartet from Saint Paul, Minnesota dedicated to the noble art of composing beautiful mellodic songs. Their stuff starts from that heavy pop concept we could more or less define if we traced an hypothetical line that would link Lennon and Mathew Sweet, passing thorugh the Raspberries. All sweetened by some fondness - fortunately not too noticeable- for the british guitar indie pop and the most contemporary style of people like Brad Jones, Jon Brion or Michael Penn. They sound somehow like that. Good, of course, and besides they are able to compose that kind of piece that outshines evrything else when it hits the mark, becomes an instant classic and an infallible medicine for every moment and place. This is how "Cocktail Tree" is, but the truth is that scratching the surface a bit, there is much more to find and enjoy. A very good record, easy to listen and that ends stuck to your soul like a limpet. The way it has to be. Another round of fully packed power-pop, in a moment in which we are not -have a count: Evans, Estepa, Derby, Supraluxe - precisely short of upper level material in the business."

Hope this helps. I find the record great too.
