The Galileo 7, There is Only Now (Damaged Goods) Allan Crockford is a bass player, having held down that spot in The Prisoners, Prime Movers, Solarflares, James Taylor Quartet, and as considered and graded above, Graham Day and The Forefathers. He’s also a songwriter. The Galileo 7, which is actually a four-piece featuring Crockford on vocals and guitar, Paul Moss on bass and vocals, Viv Bonsels on keyboards and vocals, and Matthew “Mole” Lambert on drums and vocals, is the vehicle for spotlighting his tunes. You may have noticed that everybody sings, and that’s a big tip-off toward general catchiness, here manifested in a decidedly ‘60s psych-pop sensibility. Damaged Goods mentions the Dandy Warhols, and I can hear it, but other spots remind me of Robert Pollard, and I like that even more. B+
