Synopsis

Album Description

Imagine J Mascis jamming with Galaxie 500. Envision My Morning Jacket produced by Phil Elverum. Jason Lyttle getting the Lambchop treatment. Now sit back and listen to "Backward Masks", twelve sugary sweet lullabies from Athens, GA's finest southern songsmiths, Summer Hymns. It's the last vestiges of sunlight as the sun fades away. It's a mint julep on a humid summer afternoon.

CD Reviews

Summer Hymns - 'Backward Masks' (Misra)

Mike Reed | USA | 03/15/2008

(3 out of 5 stars)

"Didn't enjoy this most recent 2006 release as much as I did Summer Hymn's 'A Celebrity Arm Gesture' effort (see my review). Simply a bit too light-weight for me. However, some of the tracks here are well written, I thought - like the mellow "Way You Walk", the intricately played "Pity And Envy", "Ice Age World" and "14 Inches Of Snow". More devoted fans of this indie neo-psych band should get more out of this CD than I did. Line-up: Valerie Watson-vocals, Derek Almstead-guitar, Chris Riser-bass, harp, horn & sax, Scott Stapleton-piano and Phillip Brown-percussion."
