Album review: The Mayflies USA "Kickless Kids" - Comeback LP takes power-pop vets down short country detour @themayfliesusa @yeproc
The Mayflies USA “Kickless Kids”
Comeback LP takes power-pop vets down short country detour. Somewhere in the multiverse, there is a maths teacher introducing the concept of Venn diagrams to a bunch of bored North Carolina teenagers. The professor is trying a little too hard to be ‘down with the kids’ by using the time-worn technique of the fully interactive power-pop Venn diagram analysis. In their example, they have three power-pop ‘sets’ combining the crunchy guitars of Matthew Sweet and Superdrag, the rootsier stylings of The Orange Humble Band and Golden Smog and the edgier psych-tinged take of Jellyfish and The Posies.

The vocal arrangement the band and Chris Stamey worked out for "You and Me," the first song on Summertown, was an explicit tribute to the harmonies of The Beach Boys. Here's the isolated vocal version of that song. Rest in peace, Brian Wilson. youtu.be/25kX376t1qo
