"I was on the moon when you were born..." -- and I'm here to tell you that the local band Apollo Sunshine's [warning: their site is a Flash disaster] record "Katonah," which I finally bought today, is e-x-c-e-l-l-e-n-t. Allow me to quote the front of the packaging: "Bits of early XTC, Guided By Voices, and the entire Elephant 6 roster, all blended into a pop setting with some Flaming Lips weirdness." Not sure what that means, really, other than name-dropping by the Boston Phoenix reviewer. F.Lips, I can see, but there's a whole Ben Folds-ian thing going on too, and lots of elaborate instrumentation and goofy electronic noises, yet it comes together in a nice, mid-90's power pop kind of way. Yay!
