(4 out of 5 stars)

"They're known best for "Run, Run, Run," included on Lenny Kaye's Nuggets collection, but The Gestures (known as The Jesters before the guys realized there were a few more garage bands just past the land of 10,000 lakes and half of them had the same moniker aparition) have a bit more to offer than the average cuffed-jeans, mid '60s rockers. Bright, almost-pinched harmonies recall The Zombies or Jan and Dean more than such contemporaries as the Sonics or the Seeds, but The Gestures toss in a few tricks to keep their bubblegum from going stale. Check out Sundazed's reissue if for nothing more than the boppish "It Seems to Me," which is the original B-side to "Run ... " and succinctly self-deprecating in ways modern mopesters could not muster without medication (or lack of)."
