Whether you call it power pop, folk rock or alt-country (at times all of these terms apply) GospelbeacH are bursting with melody, with terrific harmonies to boot, including backing vocals contributions by Californian psychedelic country girl Miranda Lee Richards, who herself gave us one of the best albums of last year. We’re talking gorgeousness of […]
Gorgeous piece of sun-dappled pop rock, straight from the prettiest reaches of the California coastline (think Taylor Locke, The Posies etc etc). Summer in two and a half beautifully harmonized minutes. – TEAMROCK HERE
LLC’s earlier albums were pretty raw affairs and you could certainly imagine them in a sweaty roadhouse somewhere in the ‘States laying down a raucous groove.

The album even includes a reggae-influenced ballad […]
