The Fresh & Onlys

Add Date: November 9 

Artist: The Fresh & Onlys 

Album: Play It Strange 

Label: In the Red 

Genre: Rock, psychedelic, garage-surf 

Comments: This is a great psychedelic rock album. From the promoter: "The Fresh & Onlys' third album... is cleaner than their previous output, but don't let that dissuade you from diving in headfirst. The cleaned up guitars twang like the sharp end of a cowboy boot, and shimmer like a silver jetliner soaring overhead. These songs chug along at a fever pitch, all day spent in the surf and all night gathered around the bonfire."

You can expect lots of heavy, reverbed guitar and equally spacey-sounding vocals. The energy spills from this record at a relentless pace. The overall tone serves as a time-machine to the '60s garage-surf days. Start with 3, 1 and 7.
