THE MOONS Mindwaves
CD1255231 (180gm Vinyl LP1255217)
After a brief instrumental that blends Shadows' twang with Joe Meek-like space fx, Northampton's finest, The Moons, settle down into their more accustomed groove of garagey-psych-pop to deliver a dozen highly-energetic and shamelessly retro guitar-powered stompers. It's hard, especially with the volume pumped up a few notches, not to be sucked into their maelstrom of catchy rock hooks and shoutalong choruses. Three albums into their career, the band has amassed a live following and impressed many thousands more with their Janice Long and Mark Lamarr show live slots, but whether they can find a wide-enough appeal to escape the retro-ghetto remains to be seen.
