Customer Reviews

Fire Retro rockets!
Although at times they trod upon ground already claimed by Jellyfish, High Llamas or the Pizzicato 5, the Wondermints have pulled off a uniquely "groovy" set of sunny power pop on this album. "Instantly catchy" is the operative phrase here. These guys don't just wear thier retro influences on thier sleeves, they proudly unfurl it on banners, with song titles like "In And Around Greg Lake". Each song seems to be an homage to a specific 60's or 70's artist; Beach Boys, Beatles, Todd Rundgren are the most obvious touchstones, and I swear there's a lost Klaatu song in there too!(An homage to an homage? Discuss.)Crack musicianship and vocal arrangements abound. If you need a break from souless techno noodling or mopey, "important" discordant poseurs, "pop" open a box of curiously refreshing Wondermints!

Let's Go To Bali...
As I ponder for the first time the newly released "Bali" CD, I can only offer one comment: picks up where Jellyfish left off (and that's a compliment)! Are you sure that's not Roger Joseph Manning Jr. (Jellyfish, Imperial Drag) on keyboards under the Witness Protection Program or something? (-;

Good luck guys; you sure passed the Brian Wilson audition! (-:

Awesome record!
This is pop so well-crafted and catchy that it just leaves me speechless. I bought this last weekend and have wandered around since then humming Puppet Grrls R Go. That is, when I'm not humming Cellophane. I just can't help it. Now I may just have to buy the imports, although I really wish all of these discs would be domestically released as they should be. Wondermints R Go!
