FOR FANS OF: Cream, The Lovin' Spoonful, Fever Tree
Electric Looking Glass, a baroque pop band from Los Angeles, California, released their debut album, Somewhere Flowers Grow on April 30th, and it's a wonderful, fresh record. The band is a foursome consisting of members Arash Mafi, Brent Randall, Johnny Toomey and Danny Winebarger. Their sound and aesthetic is very reminiscent of 60s pop-rock, of the psychedelic sound you'd find on records such as The Beatles' Rubber Soul, and Cream's Disraeli Gears.
Somewhere Flowers Grow is truly a record from another time but surprisingly just released, and it's a record that I love completely. Their sound is a vintage one, but to a listener unfamiliar with psychedelic rock, it's new. It's harmonious, full of guitar, and of peace & love. It has the sounds of the past, but visions of a more peaceful future, which is definitely something everyone if not enjoy, can surely respect.
This record makes you feel good, it's a very fun, warm record, perfect for spring. It's pleasant and joyful. My favorite tracks are "Dream A Dream," "Rosie In The Rain," and "Daffodil Tea Shop." We need more music like this out in the world. Electric Looking Glass' debut is strong, wonderful, and promising.
