Groovy Movies on Bandcamp.
So this is what Revolver-era Beatles sounds like without all the drugs and 200 years of Boomers gushing about wanting to suck on John Lennon’s hair and left earlobe and any personality. Have Rickenbacker guitars ever sounded bad? Yes, but don’t tell your mysterious uncle who may or may not live in Florida. I continue to be a sucker for melody (sung or played) and harmonies, even if “Palm Of Her Hand” doesn’t move the needle in any meaningful way and doesn’t pretend to try to do so. Sometimes this is the hardest music to write about: “Palm Of Her Hand” does all the right things and hits the senses and sounds like everything I’ve heard before. This Week In Content: I Like Song. At least Groovy Movies is a good enough band name.
