Recently I've been steadily acquiring the music of the Dishwater Psychics and their related bands on the Friendly Psychics label, at each stage telling myself that I must post a review in CD Baby about these guys. I think I've kept putting it off because in some ways it's difficult to convey the special qualities of this music. The deceptive simplicity and subtlety, understated melodic twists and turns and a rare feel for texture and tempo add up to a highly distinctive style whose X-factor is hard to pin down.The lyrics are full of surprising and memorable phrases and the playing is always at the service of the songs and devoid of empty flash. - CD Baby review
| These guys have that sound that just screams middle America. Good down home vocals and sarcastic wit without turning it on themselves, and an ear for a good hook. If going out on a limb I'd say GBV meets Destroyer as you hear good pop, but nods to David Bowie here and there. - Bees Knees
| | Calm singing vocals, warm percussion and dense bass, lush clean and acoustic guitars… it all sounds quite nice. The writing is pretty unique as well. It's all really laidback, but there's more of a chilled out '70s rock vibe going on as opposed to anything I'd call emo or indie rock. There's a lot of layering in the guitar parts, some nice vocal harmonies accentuate the singing, and so on. I'm really surprised by how uncommon this is… very unexpected. - Aversion Online |
