Fresh & Onlys Play It Strange CD

2010 full-length from San Francisco's Fresh & Onlys. After two albums and too many singles and EPs to count, The Fresh & Onlys deliver their most solid outing yet. Recorded by studio whiz Tim Green during an eight-day session, Play It Strange marks the band's first recording in an actual recording studio. The results are nothing short of incredible. For those unfamiliar with The Fresh & Onlys, their sound draws from jangly Psychedelia, Morricone-style Western twang, dark vibes a la Bad Seeds / Gun Club, melodic '60s sunshine pop and a hint of garage rock swagger. While this disparate list may look strange on paper, it makes perfect sense when you hear it.
