Smashing Times, a band that has it all - - - glistening hooks, matinée lagomorpha good looks, generous callback choruses, a scraggly sense of style, and hairdos that deduce. "Glorious Tales of Wes" is a preview of their autumn album This Sporting Life [PRNL051/KLP293] due November 3. It's a collection of similarly essential takes on pop euphoria, in that when one takes a listen one is taken aback and then must dive forward into a world of guitarmatic strange-a-pop. Smashing Times, This Sporting Life, a quick visit to jangle town that's worth many return trips.
But first, let's get to know "Glorious Tales of Wes", one of life's little pleasures. Where are all those finger snaps coming from? Oh, a café full of weird-outs listening to "Glorious tales of Wes", each in their own custom headphones world. Neat. Let's all join them.
Wes!
