CHRIS RICHARDS "Mystery Spot"

2004(DOGBUNNY) ￥1,575(taxin)

ex-Hippodrome、そしてPantookasなどグッドメロディーあふれるバンドで活躍してきたSSW、Chris Richards（現在はバンド、The Subtractionsをバックに活動）の2004年の傑作アルバム”Mystery Spot”をファーストアルバムと同時入荷！！！。彼の曲はMatthew SweetやVelvet Crush、Posiesらと同じく60'sのブリティッシュロックによる侵略をたっぷり吸い込んでヘヴィーなギターリフと重厚なハーモニーでもってキャッチーに吐き出されるモダンなパワーポップ。そして思わず走りだしてしまいそうな疾走感溢れるメロディーはまさにChrisの専売特許！？
