Preview of new Sugarplastic -- Will

Finally got this, along with the Kiara Geller (bassist) solo project CD. Haven't listened to that yet.

"Will" however is very interesting! I'm getting this XTC/Rheostatics/Kinks vibe. A nice mix of 30s "pop" and Black Sea/Drums and Wires rock. I've had it in shuffle with "Something Else" and it's flowing nicely. They've gone far from their Geffen record and it's more a farther out progression from "Resin."

For some better description, I just got this spam from the over-excited Notlame guy (he loves EVERYTHING, so be careful):

2005 release, 11 new trax and it`s well worth the wait for fans. Classic SP all over the place here! As long time fans, every time a new Sugarplastic song arrives, there`s an air of aural anticipation hard to put into words, there`s a king of sculptural kind of beauty going on w/ their material. You just know they`ll be some new twist, some new way with their quirkly melodies that will have you smiling, hitting repeat and saving on the `ole Ipod. The XTC inspiration is here, of course. Only Sugarplastic are more than just parroting influences, this is an experiment of creativity for the band as they explore complex guitar chords, melodic shadings, old time (as in 30`s, 40`s!) hooks and unusually lyrical journeys. Not familiar with them? This is the place to begin with what`s in print and available, no doubt.

cool cover.

OK, I just read that for the first time and I realized that guy hasn't said a single thing about the record. How do you make money writing paragraphs full of content-free music description? Anyway, think "good-period" Kinks updated a bit with fuzz bass once in a while.

Anyway, as you can tell I'm an SP dork and wanted to remind you all that it's out. It's been almost 5 years since "Resin!"

i liked resin a lot; wasn't so crazy about the set of singles that subsequently came out.
