Electric Crayon Set - 'One Man's Trash' (Soundhawk)

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Little known Finnish band, I've had this CD for awhile now but I happen to spot this posting so I thought I'd review it. Twelve nicely arrainged tunes that features some very good playing, decent vocals and great keyboard work. Best described as progressive pop, with psychedelic elements. Most notable cuts are the title track "One Man's Trash", "I'll Be Your Dream", "A Fast One", the ballad-like "Living On The Edge" and the somewhat adventurous "My Dear Old Problem". Also was impressed with "Now Ann", that's a well-written radio friendly tune. Whole CD has a good 'flowing vibe' to it, I thought. Might appeal to fans of Small Faces, Nick Drake, The Who and possibly T.Rex."

Authentic Psychedelic Retro Music

"A collaboration of an Austin, Texas songwriter Kim Hitchcock and a Finnish Retro Pop Psychedelic Band combining their considerable talents to create faithful, well crafted version of '60's Psych music style, with credible and convincing period lyrics in English. Made all the more remarkable due to the fact that the Finnish musicians and the American songwriter have never met in person. They have previously collaborated on a well-received British release "Demons In Disguise" on the Mod label 'Detour Records' (also in English) which quickly sold out and is now out of print, but is well worth trying to track down. If you like The Small Faces, or The Who, you'll probably love these guys. I have all their releases and they are great."
