Search - Andy Reed :: Fast Forward

We're darned proud to be able to host Andy's debut full-length that's essentially a one-man produced effort (only drums and flute are the guest appearances). It's very hard not to gush over this, but we can't help it! Another stellar example of "Sunday Morning Pop", this acoustic guitar/piano-led effort is a pleasure from start to finish. Contained within are ten slices of top-notch, well-written, gorgeous, hook and harmony-filled, pure pop that'll stick with you on first listen! In a nutshell, the musical references that are in play here are The Beatles, Jellyfish, Todd Rundgren, Elliott Smith, and Brendan Benson - all very good things for sure! The samba-tempo'd "The Criminal" is as brilliant piece of 60's-inspired "Sunshine Pop" as you'll ever hear! The vocal harmonies are heavenly throughout! COMES WITH AN EXCLUSIVE, BONUS CD FEATURING "GLUTTON OF SYMPATHY" (JELLYFISH COVER), "TOO MUCH TO HANG ON" ("GREAT COMPRESSION" EP OUTTAKE), "A PICTURE" (2003 DEMO), AND TWO SONGS FROM THE NOW RARE, BRENDAN BENSON-PRODUCED, "REWIND" CD BY THE HASKELS - "SONG OF HOPE" AND "COMIC BOOK HERO" (FEATURING BRENDAN ON BACKING VOCALS)! GREAT!!!!!
