Modular; 2012

5 out of 5

With their 2nd album, this Australian band has risen to the forefront of emerging bands ushering in a new age of genuinely psychedelic pop. They've created a place where bubbling harmonies flow like ocean froth in a rainbow splatter of shimmering love caverns. Like all the best psychedelia, the threat of chaos is ever imminent, but always held in check by melody. Imagine if the Beach Boys took just a little too much acid. This is beautiful, cinematic, kaleidoscopic pop
with an oscillating 60s vibration; high caliber conceptual tomfoolery for black light cloud-float pop dancing. Recalls bands like the Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, Dreamies, Small Faces, Bubble Puppy, the Beatles, the Nazz, Pond, MGMT, Baby Woodrose. Excellent happy merry-go-round tripping music for the brain-smile of eternal youth. Cool, yummy acid bliss-pop.
