Jeremy Jay’s new album reminds of a lot of what I might have liked in the past with a nice dose and balance of the present. Often this album darts into neo60sish jaunts intermingled with synths and a rambling bass, which makes for great sunny day road music. Ironic, in that I find a “winter-themed” 60s revival indie rock for good sunny day road music, yet this disc provides us with just enough of the winter with a strong reminder that there are better days ahead.
The album is elegant and straight forward. Complexity is limited, yet the aim is respectable. This 60s revival type indie music has yet to truly be explored, and the elements of this sound are on display on this album. I wouldn’t term this the best album all year, yet it is an album for enjoying, especially on your next cherry blossom vespa ride.
