The first review of the new album 'Let your free flag fly' is in and here it is:
'A couple of years back, on constant rotation at my place
was an album in thrall to The Beach Boys – rich in harmonies and stunning
melodies. Bizarrely, it hailed not from California but from Rushden,
Northamptonshire. Now Aaron, (for he is the The Sunchymes) is
back with a second outing that’s just as strong as its predecessor.
A
few moments into the opener, ‘Revelations In Her Mind’, and you’ll know what’s
coming – West Coast sunshine-pop as the Wilsons played it but with additional
twists and turns. This time round Aaron has plainly been listening to a few
British psych albums. For ‘Seargent Walker’ and ‘Uncle Alfred’s Slide Show’ have
that sinister tweeness that characterises the best of the genre. They sound a
little to me like lost ’80s mod band The Direct Hits, and that is a big
compliment. '
