The Lemon Clocks, a “power pop all-star” lineup comprising Jeremy Morris, Todd Borsch (The Ringles/The Gilligans), and Stefan Johansson (The Proper Electronic Company), divide this album up between jangle and psychedelic prog rock. So retro you will swear this is a long lost 60′s classic. The Rickenbacker riffs jump forward on the punchy “Garden Of Eden”and then on the 8 minute plus “Rainbow Bridge” its like a magical pairing of The Byrds and 13th Floor Elevators.
The trippy hippie mantras “Life Is Like a Dream” and “The Bright Side” are great tracks among many here. The vocals get a bit lost in spots (“The Man Who Lost the Time”) but Jeremy’s in full McGuinn mode throughout the album. A great head trip for pop fans who want to go to a ‘Better World Beyond’. Even the sizzling guitar distortions on “Lemon Clock Land” give the old Pink Floyd a run for its money. Not a weak track anywhere and my top pick for psychedelic pop album this year – so tune in and turn on, man. Also recommended for fans of those neo-psyche bands like Olivia Tremor Control and Neural Milk Hotel.
