The Galileo 7 is one of the best psyche-pop garage bands out there, and on their 6th album, they blast off at top speed. The best example is the opener “Everything is Everything Else” where Allan Crockford’s lyrical compositions take a life of their own. Allan is joined by bassist Paul Moss, organist Viv Bonsels, and drummer Matthew ‘Mole’ Lambert. The band continues to mine the influences of that wonderful technicolor era of late 60’s pop for a new audience. The band’s energy and harmonies sparkle on the title track and also on the solid “Let Go.”
The songs were created and recorded quickly and according to Crockford; “I wanted everyone to sing at least one song on this album.”All the bandmates had a chance to take a lead vocal. In addition, there is a very positive vibe throughout. Lambert does his best Moon-like drum rolls on “Looking Up” and things mellow nicely with the bongo rhythm of “The Last Hours of Aldous Huxley.” However, the crown jewel here is the catchy crisp melody of “Crooked Smile.” Not a bad track or note of filler here, fans of The Creation, The Pretty Things and mod-era Who should check this out for sure. Highly Recommended.
