The Contrast, Perfect Disguise (out this week): I have raved about this
British band before, but this compilation provides the ideal introduction to
their unique sonic delights. Their music clearly pays homage to the '60s,
but it doesn't really sound like any particular British band of the period,
nor is it classifiable as garage-rock, because singer David Reid's voice is
too smooth and cultured. But the contrast between the crackling guitar riffs
and velvety vocal tones is immensely appealing, and the intense hookiness of
the tunes enhances matters. My closest comparison is the Bevis Frond minus
the long guitar extrapolations, but that's so obscure that I'd just advise
you to sample a few tracks and see if you're not instantly captivated.
