Ultra-catchy indie guitar pop that mixes '60s-style vocal harmonies with the eighth-note rhythms of the '80s. Think of the Cars covering the Everly Brothers.
Bio / Background
"For those seeking respite in the thoughtful songwriting and pop sensibilities from days gone by, search no further than the Layaways' new CD. Tapping into a diverse pool of musical influences, these 12 tracks evoke the spirit of early Beatles, R.E.M., and the best of the Cure..."
-- PopMatters
The Layaways don't come at you with a wall of sound. A wall of sound can be intimidating -- it can tower over the listener and threaten to fall on them. What we have here instead is more of a bed of sound. And a big, comfortable bed it is, too. It's a compelling mix of modern indie pop with classic vocal harmonies and new wave eighth-note rhythms. Think of Yo La Tengo covering the Cars. Or the Cure playing an Everly Brothers song. Better yet, give the disc a spin for yourself.
The band started as a solo recording project, with guitarist/vocalist David Harrell recording most of the tracks in his home studio.
