The debut release from BELL GARDENS, led by KENNETH JAMES GIBSON (FURRY THINGS, {a}ppendics.shuffle) and BRIAN MCBRIDE (STARS OF THE LID). Inspired loosely by a sense of “pop” music from other eras, the band delivers six tracks experimental pop recorded with analog equipment built between the 1950s and ‘70s. “It’s gorgeous, rapturous pop balladry with candy-coated Beach Boys falsettos and pre-afro-Phil Spector production. It’s weightless with gravitas. Gibson might be the techno flavor du jour, but this is the stuff that will mark his place.”—LA Weekly. (STREET DATE - 5/18/2010)
