Indie pop groups doing Beach Boys harmonies are nothing new. In fact Brian Wilson influenced pop has become a sub-genre of sorts.
The Crayon Fields are Australia’s finest exponents of this wall-of-harmony vocal style and where many bands lack songs in the quest for aura, every song on this disc is worthy of a sing-along. Geoff
O’Connor has a timid voice, but never sounds weak nor buried beneath the Crayon’s busy brand of twee psychedelia.
Lyrically the songs echo a thousand summers gone by. Nostalgic sadness coupled with an uplifting and joyous set of memories. Put this one away as the perfect soundtrack to the coming Sydney summer.
