SPENCER MCGILLICUTTY "Games"

2009(SELF) ￥1575(taxin) NEW ARRIVAL 10.06.14

キラキラの素敵過ぎるスモール・ポップがぎっしり！ミネアポリスの男女混合グループの傑作セカンドアルバム！50～60年代のクラシックなガールズポップをベースにともかく秀逸なコーラス、メロディーがしっかり中心に据えられ多彩な楽器、リズム、バックグランドがそれをさらに引き立てる！そりゃぁ飽きませんよ。彼らも大ファンのRilo Kileyみたいな女性voアメリカンポップやベルセバなどグラスゴー周辺のポップファンは間違いなく聴いておいてほしい作品。先日来日したCamera Obsucuraなんかが好きなら尚更。レトロなんだけど古臭くない、先端行ってるかといわれれば行ってなくもない、シュビドゥワップ。Series Two周辺の手作りポップ勢に通じる潔さ、そして同時にセルフリリースにもかかわらずトータルでこだわりぬかれたディレクションがポリシーをの高さを感じさせる。グレイト！！。POWERPOP ACADEMY限定のバッジ特典アリ！現在庫のみ

BIOGRAPHY

PRESS
Spencer McGillicutty is a pop group with a retro edge. Their unquestionably
complex, catchy melodies and co-ed vocals hint of the pop of the 1950s and
’60s..... fensepost

Well, this is fun. Spencer McGillicutty and his band of willing helpers are
in awe of the girl groups of the ‘60s, Carole King, Beach Boys harmonies and
killer tunes. ..... Leicester Bangs

Based in Minneapolis, Spencer McGillicutty eschew that cities snowy climes
in order to serve up a sunny retro-pop sound that should really come from
California. ..... Americana UK
