Los Straitjackets

Somos Los Straitjackets

(Yep Roc Records)



So conversant are they in disparate tongues, that the "Surf" adjective often cast upon them hardly suffices. The spring-heeled four are widely hailed for assurance that awes. Textbook dexterity enables them to deal out impressive constructions that are sophisticated, dashing, and, sporadically, introspective. Frankie, Annette, and Deadhead/Bonehead fell in with Wray rumblings, Montgomery Ward-transistor-to-ear musings, and movements serenely majestic, a wealth of sensuous jollities being the creation.

500 copies exist, per Yep Roc.

Recommended: "Bumper Car," "Polaris," "Genesee River Rock," "High Wire Act," "Numbskull," "Two Steps Ahead," "April Showers" (feat. guitarist Simon Heeran), "Cry For a Beatle," "Copy Cat," "Wicker Park," "Spinout"

Videos: "Polaris" (official video)   "High Wire Act" (live)   "Spinout" (official video)
