Best band in the country right now

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Seven Color Sky is a little known band from Pittsburgh, but their music and Scott Bedillion's lyrics are mesmerizing - there's no doubt in my mind they're the best band around. Their first effort, Secrets About the Stars, was fun and nostalgic (for those of us who love 80s British alternative music), but this EP is a breakthrough. With the help of producer John Ashton (guitarist for the Psychedelic Furs), Seven Color Sky has captured something special - that moment when lyrics and music and ambience coalesce into something greater than the parts. "Better Looking" is the best song I've heard in years, the best since another little-known (in the States, at least) but unbelievable band, Gene, stopped putting out heart-stopping songs. And the second song, "Next Day", is gripping in its own right. For god's sake, BUY THIS RECORD!"
