I must admit to having something of soft spot for anything with guitar god J Mascis on it which I’ll further own up to saying is causing something of an embarrassing dilemma at our gaff at present mainly due to the fact that – one – we haven’t got the Sweet Apple full length ‘The Golden Age of Glitter’ released earlier this year and worse still – we haven’t as yet heard anything from it. Well not up to now that is.
The lead single from April (via tee pee) ‘Boys in Her Fan Club’ is your full on radio radiating return to pop’s golden age. A four minute flamboyant flash back to the 70’s stereophonically spraying a sweetly effervescent sighing crush cooed in strut sassy power pop motifs, glittered glam pouts and a 50s bubble grooved haloing that imagines a studio summit meeting between the Raspberries, The dB’s, Cheap Trick and Todd Rundgren.
