Captain Soul "Jetstream Lovers" 2003

The second album for UK power pop act, the follow up to 2001's 'Beat Your Crazy Head Against The Sky'. The band named after a song from The Byrds' 'Fifth Dimension' (1966) even counts Roger McGuinn amongst their fans. (The Guardian)Adam Howorth simply pens great tunes. I really enjoyed Beat Your Crazy Head... (first release) and this one may surpass it. Interestingly, although the first 4 tunes are good, it's songs 5-10 that really shine. (NPR)
Following 2001’s debut Beat Your Crazy Head Against The Sky, Captain Soul return with another record of summer ’60s pop. The Byrds and Beach Boys influences are strong, especially on the lilting “Make My Day”and “Looking For Love”. The highlight is the towering “Last Night”. Captain Soul (itself a Byrds song title) mix up classic and contemporary influences, only they do it well. (Uncut)
Don’t Forget The First Album from Captain Soul:

THE WEST COAST POP ART EXPERIMENTAL BAND

Los Angeles psych pop outfit centered around rich kids Bob Markley and Dan & Shaun Harris, but at different times also included Michael Lloyd (member of The Smoke and October Country, noted producer & Kim Fowley cohort), Ron Morgan (later to play with Three Dog Night and late-season Electric Prunes), Bob Yeazel (composer & multi-instrumentalist with Sugarloaf and Beast), and Dennis Lambert (half of the writing/production team Lambert & Potter). They tinkered with all corners of psychedelia, including fuzzy garage, eastern journeys, folky country psych, radio-friendly popsike and weirdo acid freakouts. Despite a good string of albums, they never achieved much commercial success but were the best party band in L.A.; and they’ve remained popular among underground heads and record collectors for their inventive use of layered arrangements & production trickery.

Yess!! Thanks so much for West Coast Pop Art!! Great underrated group, but loved by the ones that heard them.

touni said...

Larry, thanks for this...I'd like to ask for something from your amazing collection: Groupies. Is there anything you have and would like to share, all I can find is some pieces here and there...their brilliant masterpiece "Primitive" is still one of the most exciting all-time favorites

Thanks and stay sick!

I highly recommend the West Coast Pop Art albums to anyone who hasn't checked them out yet, especially Part One, the Sundazed Early Years Vol.1 (these are two different collections of songs though the album titles are similar) and the Companion compilation.

I remember a few years ago being in a record store that had speakers throughout the shop and hearing the WCEAC Part One album for the first time. The songs were catchy and the stereo effects were very psychedelic at times (I was likely stoned, too, which helped). After about 4 songs I rushed up to the counter and asked what was playing, but of course they didn't have it in stock on vinyl. I immediately ordered a copy on ebay when I got home. "Transparent Day" has to be one of my favorite '60s tunes.

I still remember your gigantic and fabulous gift for Christmas with more than 70 albums!!
Your collection of "one wonder album" is another fabulous gift. I don't have time enough to listen to all these albums , but I've created on my hard-disk a special file named "Lofy Larry". So I'm sure that I'll never loose these gems !!
