Perfect Psych Pop
I stumbled across this album a few weeks ago.
Justine to me is like, Simon and Garfunkel married Fleetwood Mac and then they all moved to sunny California in the 70's.
The group are British, but at times the record seems very influenced by the poppiest side of American folk-rock, particularly in the blends of male and female vocal harmonies, which are extremely reminiscent of the Mamas & the Papas'.
Yet there are also songs that have a more specifically British, gentle reserved acoustic quality.
They seem to blend a whimsical British feel with fuzzy psychedelic guitar, all through perfect harmonies.
They only lasted for one album and split up to go their own solo directions,
none of any being particularly notable.
But together, they were heavy.
I've had this album on non-stop since I discovered it.
Its perfect pop!
