Fabulous 60s influenced harmonic pop on debut UK release from criminally overlooked Philadelphia-based group, the Capitol Years
Review
The Capitol Years have been going for some time now without really gaining wider recognition. It's not often that you get to say this about a random single that's thrown your way, but this band have been criminally overlooked.
Their slacker indie with distinctly 60s influenced melodies is instantly ear-catching. 'Revolutions', the first single off their new album, 'Dance Away the Terror' and their first ever UK release, comes across like Tapes n Tapes or the Spinto Band covering Love, with blipping synths, a bouncing guitar riff and airy harmonies.
B-side 'CIA' ain't half bad either; the Love influence can be heard again, with a slight country tinge to the verses and a slow, floaty psychelic-ish bit in the chorus.
