The Mayflowers - Are You Green? - 2004


Very classic sounding "Black Sea"-era XTC-inspired ditties! Good tunes, too--real good.  That vibe continues on songs here. The band reminds us of a few other cool indie powerpop ones like Barely Pink, Einstein's Sister and edgier Stonecake. This is a joyous, highly melodic, high-charged tune-fest. All the songs here feature glistening guitar twists, snappy snares, rich, angular bass guitar tones (ala Colin Moulding) and a breath of fresh air on all the material. -Not Lame
